Quote: Originally posted by elrod-tom Having said all that, I'll repeat what I said earlier, and offer my own spin on it: The Gear for Sale forum is a convenience only. It provides no revenue for Head-Fi, and in fact provides a service that others must pay for at other sites. We have...

The address WilliamGoody/'Bill Whitman" gave me when I bought from him was in New Square, NY. I too will not post his address since you don't know if he's living with other folks - and that could be unfair to them. If anyone is trying to contact him and had a different address, feel free to...

For your level 2 immersion (if you don't get funked out by the 50th Anniv introduction), there's tons of stuff out there. The albums can be confusing because JB and his band were prolfic beyond belief, putting out tons of singles that never got realease on albums. So the collections are...

Just notice this old thread. Its about 6-7 months later and I'm curious if other folks here now have tried this Cowon iAudio flash player and if it is in fact superior to the iRiver iFP3xx series.

I did click on the link, that's why I know what they are. For example: these Sickamore and DJ Famous ones. I have bought these on Canal street in NYC. I own several of the CD's in these series: http://www.mixunit.com/newrbmochbpt.html http://www.mixunit.com/mosibylasrwi.html Some of the...

These are very blatant bootlegs, if you are trying to ADVERTISE these, that's probably over the borderline here. Plus that guy shouldn't be putting that stuff on a web-site, he's just begging to have feds come at him for piracy. The stuff sells like hotcakes on the street in a far less traceable...

KSC-35? Lets put it this way: I look forwad to going for a run, just so I can have an excuse to put them on. Great value for money.

Yeah, Sony made such a retarted decision with that fake SP in net MD. I think they intentionally wanted to limit the quality of recording you can put onto the NetMD because you can do it so fast in comparison with regular MD. They're so asininw, its not even funny...

Quote: Originally posted by tmesis I'm sorry, but for a jogger in need of seamless playback, a NetMD still seems to be the best solution. Yeah, that's the scary conclusing I'm coming to at this point. You'd think that by now *someone* would actually put together an audiophile...

If it comes down to an optically recorded SP on a DR7 and CD on any of the current PCDP's, come one, the MD does sound better. . Its not that Minidisc or SP is a work of genius, rather its more an indication of how flat and lifeless the sound of current PCDP's are. Also a good MD - like a...

Well that's the nail in the coffin as far as IPOD (and other HD competitors) is concerned. Thanks for the input guys - tremendous info. So if a HD player won't work for jogging, what's the BEST SOUNDING flash player that uses a decent codec (ie doesn't force you to use MP3). I'm looking for...

Quote: Originally posted by Bionic Gecko I think ultimately I would like to get a MD deck w/ PS/2 port to get all the advantages of NetMD w/o the numerous disadvantages, that would be sweet. [/B] Net MD is definitley not up to par. But frankly Sony is record company so its not like...

Well first understand that a minidisc takes CD-quality files and compresses them. So strictly speaking, something has been removed and its below the max sound quality that you can get from a CD. That said, 99% or modern PCDP sound bad. To my ears,if I play an a optically recorded minidisc at...

I did a lot of messing around wth mp3. For me minidisc at SP and LP blew it away in terms of depth and sound quality. Maybe LP2 is same *size* as 192K mp3 or something, but to my ears persoanlly LP2 was far better sound. Plus, gapless playback is non-negotiable - I must have it. So mp3 is really...

I read that review from the other thread which is what prompted me to ask the questions. They discussed sound quality of IPOD with WAV - got that part. But they didn't address the usability, anti-shock etc questions. Not surprising, its Sterophile mag, not Head-fi where we actually get into...

I'm a minidisc user who has considered switching to IPOD. I'm tired of having to make recordings in real time, every time. I'd like to go digital, but the NetMD thing just seems wrong to me. I feel like if I buy one of those I'm just validating Sony's messup up copy-paranoia policies - while...

I won't try to gover the entire gamut here. Just a couple of Jazz guitarists I like. Definitely jazz guitar here, but not boring and not predictable, for sure. 1) Marvin Sewell Quite possibly the funkiest man alive. Goes everywhere from mainstream jazz guitar to some funky blues stuff. Young...

I tried the plastic tips for first two weeks and found them to be itchy and paintful. I then switched to the foam - they were perefect and I've never picked up the others ones since then.
