MD: Sound cards

Speaking of DAT, I found an old booklet announcing the new DAT medium, and it mentions End Search. Somehow it just didn't hit me that End Search was vital for not recording over a tape, but it makes it seem that much more stupid and useless for a random access medium like MD! I know this has be

Re: MD: md-l-digest V3 #12 LP speeds

I recorded over 3 hours of lectures at a seminar recently, required 2 MDs on my portable Sharp 722, and when I dubbed them onto my JB940 at LP4 speed, I was very happy with the results. Up to 5 hours on a disc is wonderful, when it's just voice-quality you need anyway. This isn't a lowering of

MD: Sony 940

So far no one has spoken up: does ANYONE own a Sony 940 deck? I wanted to know if it will still record at mono, and here's another question: if you record on the new, long play lower-bitrate speed, can that disc be played on other models, or only on new equipment with the long play feature? Thanx

I prefer disc, but if you read the New York Times, they ALWAYS spell it DISK even for Compact Discs (trademark). They refuse to spell it with a 'c.' - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe"

MD: plug in power

I got one of those Sony mics, I think the 907, and even witha fresh battery, it only puts a weak signal into my Sharp 722. I have to almost shout into it to get any volume, and any song I put on the MD is way louder than my speech. Is it supposed to be that way? I've actually gotten the best r

MD: end search petition

I must have missed the first mention of an End Search petition to Sony, but please sign me up. I would strongly recommend that it leave out all other issues, and stick to End Search only, as the others will dilute the message. End Search needs to stand out alone as the greatest abomination of a

We wouldn't be arguing about end search if Gaz would stop trying to defend something so stupid, useless, and ergonomically idiotic, not to mention destructive. I don't understand why he does this, unless he just likes calling people stupid and arguing with them. But more importantly: does anyon

I would rather have a CD than a MiniDisc copy, but oftentimes the MD copy sounds good enough to keep, and I would ALWAYS rather have an MD copy than a cassette copy of something. That's the point you seem to miss. Thanks for your time

MD: toslink v. coax

Thanks, everyone, who answered my query about toslink v. coax; I figured it was BS. The info came from a book by Robert Harley, who I'm told is "controversial" among audiophiles. I'm not an audiophile yet, but hope one day to have the bux to do so. But no matter how rich I ever get, I plan not

MD: CDs with graphics

About 10 or so years ago some CDs on the market had graphics included, but you needed a special player to see them; it was usually lyrics and maybe some artwork. Does anyone know of a Windows CD player program that would display those graphics? I still have the Hendrix Smash Hits and I think it

MD: coax v. toslink

Can someone please explain to me how there could possibly be any difference between digital transmission by coaxial versus TosLink? I would assume that the exact same data is transferred, and that error correction would insure that no data is lost, and yet I read in this high-end stereophile boo

MD: Boosting digital input

This may be a silly question, but I hate to assume; when I digitally copied a CD, I found it was recorded at a very low volume, so I kept boosting the input volume on the MD recorder until it was still undistorted, and recorded a much louder MD from the CD. I would imagine that there will be no d

MD: Sharp and Sony

I use a Sony 520 deck and a Sharp 722 portable, and everything recorded on one plays perfectly on the other, including mono recordings. I've been very happy with both units. I recently got the little Aiwa bookshelf unit (XDM110? not sure of the number) and it came with a free portable player, t

I would tend to doubt that anyone at Sony bothers to look at this digest, else someone would've spoke up by now... we still do not know ,to this day, whether Sony knows how much most of us hate and despise End Search, and probably don't know or care that they really blew it when they didn't put a

Forgot to mention that a product called D-Solvit is good for getting labels off, it's orange scented and comes in very small or large plastic bottles, if it's still on the market... I guess I'm gonna have to try that timer thing, so can we assume that when you press "timer' on your Sony deck, it

MD: Timer

What type of timer works with these Sony decks? Is it a special model you buy from Sony? Surely it's not a kitchen timer that cuts the power on, since the deck has to be powered the whole time it's on standby. What model, make, price, where does one get a timer as described? On another topic,

MD: dropouts

I've found problems with Memorex blanks on several occasions, in 2 different recorders; the problem is that the disc 'hangs' up and won't record or play past a certain point. Sometimes it will record all the way thru, but on playback it stops at a certain point and the timing display flashes the

re the 930 editing trick, I've sometimes added a dummy track (a few seconds of silence or noise) at the end just so that I could go backwards into the previous track, rather than take forever to go forward. after finishing, delete the dummy track. it's fun, working out these little tricks, once

I'm trying not to get caught up in this ES debate again, but I'm beginning to realize that some people, who bought Sonys and then had to get used to a stupid, useless, destructive feature WOULD RATHER DIE than admit that they got something inherently stupid, and will strain their brains trying to

Hey, I don't hate analog just because I love digital and MDs! I recently dug out an old Dolby B cassette of a gig I played with some guys in our surf band 21 years ago, and it made a nice copy on MD. It's a relief knowing that the MD will probably long outlive the original cassette, being an op

OK, this is totally unscientific, but I've had the odd problem where I can record on my Sony 520 deck, and it plays back perfectly on my Sharp 722, but doesn't play back on the 520 (where it was originally recorded) without skips and glitches. This has happened at least twice, and only on memore

MD: marketing

I wonder why the merchants are so far behind in marketing current models? At Best Buy, I finally saw the Sony 330, a big improvement over the 320, but I've had my Sharp 722 for months, and some have had 821s for a long time, and yet they just keep pushing the 702 in all the stores! And I have no

MD: and another thing...

I finally got that Sony 907 microphone that everyone's recommending, and I find that just like the cheap ones I was using, it puts a weak, low-volume signal into the recorder, so that I have to talk LOUDLY into it or very close up to get any volume. Are they all like that?

MD: equipment failure

just lately, my Sony 520 has been faltering on a couple of tracks; I don't know if it's in the record or playback process where the error begins, but a track now and then will hesitate, the second-counter stalls, and it plays with blank spaces intermittent. I thought it was my Sharp 722, but it

MD: 722 error

for the first time, my Sharp 722 made an error: I was copying an MD via Toslink, and near the end of the 68 minute album, the final track began to break up into intermittent skips of silence for several seconds, then more of the song, then more silence, back and forth. The 722 hasn't been roughly

MD: coupla things

60 min discs always cost more, for no apparent reason other than maybe scarcity. is there any advantage to a 60 over a 74? are the tracks spread out wider for less errors, or are they just crippled 74s? why would they exist? damark (at damark.com) has a Sharp portable for sale for $199 in the
