go buy yourself a MP3/CD player. In terms of media, CD-Rs are the cheapest by far. And with MP3 format, 700mb of MP3 to carry around is WAY more then enough. If you can live with the Jukebox size, you will have no problems with the lighter MP3/CD. Most of them also have long battery life then...

Its been out for some time already (at least 7 months). tons of it everywhere on display in Japan, but no one is buying it. The quality is not that great. Even with a 3" screen, you can see alot of flaws. just my 0.02

bringing back a thread from the dead. I recently had the chance to listen to CT-800 and the CT-790 back to back in a store here. Tested thru headphone out playing both mp3 (for CT-800 only) and CDs, both players provide the same sound quality. I think CT-700 will be the same also. Given...

Panasonic CT-800 MP3/WAV/CD player has line and optical out.

I looked into this before, and actually still a fence sitter at the moment. For me, its between IMP400 and Panasonic CT-800. Read through Tina's report about the bad headphone out on the Pana CT-800 and I went to some stores to check it out... I found that its actually not THAT bad to my...

Any update?

Just read the frontierlabs website. They now have the NexIIe model avaliable which draws power with USB cable when downloading / uploading songs. I wonder if this could be used as a external AC power (in terms of charging battery). Complex: You have seen this unit? I notice you are from...

Pym: Thanks for your offer. I will look up to see what they have here in Japan, and see if I can pick up one of these (this or iriver IMP400 ). WatchDog: Oh my God?!!? you on here too? Hey, its Tachyon back from miataclub.ca. Colin

Just wondering if there is such a thing on the market. An mp3 player that will accept CF cards (either of both Type1 or Type2). There are players with smartmedia, SD and memorysticks compatibility, but I havent seen any for CF. Anyone?

how much is the TDK? I didnt see indication of price on the website given. And man, I.O data stuff is getting pretty expensive.. 21,000 yen?!?! thats between the IMP-350 and IMP400 here in Japan

Well, I just found out the release date for IMP400 was YESTERDAY. So I will be picking up one this weekend. Waited a while and no one really have a good report on he Panasonice CT-800 (except for Tina's). So Iwill take the IMP400 instead. Judging by the spec, the lineouts are probably...

hmm, very interesting. I guess there is some variant of KS-50 then? earbids version?

ttt

ttt what are KSC-50? new models? as good as KSC-35?

Suggestion please looking for good ear clips. The Koss KSC-35 I heard its good, but cannot get it here. (Japan) can get most Sony, Pioneer, Panasonic,.. etc.

Any update?

After my long search for CD/mp3 portables, I think I might as well look into MDs as well. I am totally new to this, so please teach me. It seems that people arent worry (or dont talk about it as much) about sound quality issues of MD as compare to CDs. Why is that? From my brief experience...

Quote: Originally posted by dougbrad81 i've just got one, and the battery pack attaches to the cd player like an md. i'm having problems using the supplied nihm's, as they go internally and when i put them in, it creates a bump that interferes with the cd, already scratching my cd. using...

what are the advantages / disadvatnages of ear clips versus ear buds? whats is "open" and what is "close"? sorry, newbie Questions here.

anyone know if the external battery pack for the new CT-800 is attached to the CD player itself (aka like MD players where its screwed on securely)? or is it like the slimX design and replaces the remote? Also, Aside from Tina (thanks again for the detail review) anyone else have it on here...

Ok, I heard and read lots about earbuds on this forum. Everything looks good to me, but the problem I had with ear buds in the pass is that they hurt after a while of continuous listening. I am looking for ear clips or "street styles" but nothing too bulky. Are there advantages /...

Hey all, newbie question here. I am really quite shocked to hearing about the poor performance of the CT-800. I am interested to know HOW bad is it exactly? I am living in Japan, and somehow I cant find the slimX here anywhere. The Sony are at a discount and Pana CT800 are showing up all...
