It is not distorted. Cd's can be gritty and harsh unless you have good
equiment. and many cd's are poorly recorded.

But what is analog warmth. AFAIK analog warmth is nothing more
then plain distortion of the signal. Vinyl sounds warmer then a CD
because the signal is mor
using good equipment, SACD and Dvd-audio should have the analog warmth afaik.

Hi. It all goes back to the moving parts problem. Solid state is immune from
shock. With the prices of regular RAM going up, I don't see the price special
memory (is it called static RAM?) dropping in the near future.
Also, using a standard sized memory module, such as Flash cards or Smart me

I agree with LAS in the sense that MD and Mp3's involve compression. So do
cd's for that matter. Cant wait to get my hands on SACD and DVD-audio.
Supposedly, they match the fullness and warmth of LP's.

I can only speak for myself. But I did think it was babble. I really enjoyed

Out of interest, how long does transferring songs take with the Rio (I'd
appreciate figues for the USB Rio 500 and other players too). I'm planning
on writing a facts+fgiures article on the actual time/cost of MD versus MP3
players (all I hear from the MP3 crowd is "MD can only record at 1x").

Hi Gary,
Can't help you with your love life, but I really appreciate the input about Rio.
MD has been around for about 8 years now. Although I'm the only person in the MD
world that finds the quality of Sony's MZ-1 acceptable, in 8 years MD
manufactures have not sat on their hands.
