I am not talking about the girls in my avatar (even though are

). I am talking about this:

I am drooling just looking at it, how did they do it? Its got to be one of the finest portable devices ever!!!

Hell I think people who doesn't use md should buy it & use it as a cigarette holder. It just looks so slim & clean. My god, I am wetting my panties. lol

Pepsione1,

I totally agree; I love that basic, clean, and finished look. Very nice!

 

[puck]

those md players are so small! just a little bigger than the md. unfortunately they had to put in some sort of built-in battery to do it. i would be worried about what happens when the battery dies from charge/discharge cycling and also that they really crapped out on the headphone amp in it. of course there is no line out like all other new md players. other than that, it is very cool and clean looking. i was absolutely amazed the first time that i saw one in a shop.

Hey Pepsione1 !!

I'm a old guy. When Sony walkman (cassette tape) made 10 years, many years ago, sony launched a so small walkman like this one. Almost the tape size. In this week I was in NYC and looking for a cassette walkman. You can imagine my panties when the sales man showed me a red 10th anniversary box with that little US450 Walkman inside. He looked to me and charged what he wanted...I spent a year thinking about that price...

Best

It certainly is sexy and the headphone out does fine for me. It drives all my cans to my normal listening levels (even the F1's though that's a bit of a stretch). It also sounds a lot better than most headphone outs i've heard.

The battery is a bit of a stumbling block, but i think that it may actually be purchaseable separately and i know it could be replaced by the user with a bit of work, though no soldering or anything like that.

I like it anyway

I got me one of them. I paid about $270 for it. Best money I've spent on a portable! Put it in my pocket, and don't even know it's there.

WOW, its less than 2 MDs in thickness [if youre on crack like me...doh. thanks V-1...

]

 

[Vertigo-1]

It actually looks thicker then two MDs in that picture...

Since I got my Panasonic MJ70 (or something) a few years ago, I've always wondered how much smaller they could get. This is a sweet size all right but I've stopped using my MD player once I got my MP3 player Panasonic SDSV80. Why? Because my MP3 player is so small, this MD player is just HUGE.

Once you go smaller, you can't go back. I don't know what I'm going to do now...

OT: I am an idiot. I have never seen a minidisc disk and I always thought they looked like mini cd's. Judging from that picture though they look like little floppy disk's. Show's what I know.

Anyways, that MD player is awesome looking.

Well, its just the casing that makes them look like floppies. The do look like mini-cds (3.5-inch) on the inside, that is, if you can open them outside of the player. They use MO (magneto-optical) technology, which i will not go into here because i'm afraid i'll make a fool of myself.

Time to get an avatar.

The sound quality is pretty good. Better than the other MD players I've tried. Even cleaner sounding than the new N10 recorder. The earbuds that comes with it aren't anything special, but of course they're better than some $50 pcdp headphones.

The E10 is about as thick as two MDs
