What is the cheapest price for the carbon pearl? And carbon? I have found just under 150ish shipped on ebay for the carbon. Also, the case that comes with the carbon pearl doesn't have a arm band or anything does it?

can someone post pictures or briefly describe the cases on each? thanks

are the players that can be found on ebay or cheaper online sites known to be from an older lot?

Should one have any reservations about buying a Rio Carbon (static issues)? Is the Carbon still made, or just the carbon pearl? I like the player, and have found the carbon for less money. any input?

any other suggestions. They dont' have to be clip on. Preferably over the head headphones. But if the folded like the audio technica ones, or porta pros, that would be nice. I think a normaly full sized pair, like Big sennheiser/koss size would be too big. thanks

I forgot about the portapros and have read almost all positive reviews of them. What about this headphone. It would seem to fit my needs well. http://minidisco.com/ath-f55.html

Hello First off: I used to read all the posts on here but its been awhile since i've posted and read the threads on this forum. I don't have time to read everything i've missed, so excuse me if my question had already been answered. I searched, but didn't find anything that fit exactly. I...

I have found the sharp 180 and 200 quite easily, but where can one find the md190. Is this a us model or am I just not finding it?

The sharp 180, 190, and 200, are the same thing, except the 190 has a mic in, and the 200 has a mic in and dolby? What about the sony "sports" minidisc. I have been able to find it for a pretty good price. Is this a good unit for recording use? ALso, any suggestions on microphones(around...

Thanks for the response, I have been looking at the soundprofessionals site a little, but have not heard of the minidisc forum you mentioned, thanks. Do the Sony's still have "end search"? -blastoff

Any comments about minidisc units are welcome also. I have owned a sharp 722, and am led to believe from reading that sharps are easier to record with(adjust on the fly?)). How about the new sharp 200 (with dolby h)

Hello, it's been awhile since I have last posted but here it goes . . . Looking to purchase a minidisc recorder with and a microphone. Willing/able to spend around 225-250 dollars (a little more if it's worth, as always with audio stuff!). Preferably a portable unit, although if the deck style...

just curious as to how much jazz is in the movie the great gatsby? (not neccessarily pure music and what not) I've read the book and don't remember too much mention of jazz music. THanks

Hello, Just wondering if anyone could help me in my search for a non-documentary type jazz movies? All suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance

Welcome, If you don't need something very portable like the koss ksc-35, I would seriously consider the Denon 210. They are about the size of those sony v200 things, but sound a whole whole lot better, and also have a metal headband which is a plus...

thanks for the quick reply, The only reason i am really hesitant to purchase a factory refurbished unit, is the money, i'm in high school. Also, my previous md recorder/player was a sharp 722 that suffered the infamous "utoc error" and the unit itself does not work anymore. All replies are...

Hello, Just wondering what the experiences with factory refurbished items has been? Would you guys reccommend purchasing factory refurbished electronics or is it better to shell out a little more money and recieve a brand new item. I ask this question as I am considering purchasing a Sony...

yeah, thanks for all the help guys, i just wanted to see if it was worth waiting for, doesn't sound like the technology is that much of an advantage and real time was never a big complaint of mine.

thanks for the reply so i guess it's kind of a pain to compress all the stuff on the computer, how long does it take to compress a 5 minute song, also i assume wav, mp3's can all be converted to atrac.

Have heard a little about this technology and had a few questions? I have the understanding that it records faster than real time regarding the mdlp compression used. up to 16 or 32x i think. Does this only work with mp3 files, or all audio files on a computer? I am pretty sure the prices...

Talib Kweli and Hi Tek - Relection Eternal, good album, anyone else listen to it?

Don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but the one that get's my vote for best "el cheapo" less than 50 dollar headphone is the denon 210.

Noticed a similar thing in that video. V6's and 7506's can be found in almost every video involving a recording studio. Also, anyone know the can's in that craig david video, not sure of the name, just happened to be on the tv.
