Hi,
I've been a fan of Minidisc for many years now, having started out with the ubiquitable JE500 home deck and the MZR30 portable.
Over the years i've upgraded and am currently using the JA30ES at home and have upgraded the MZR30 initially to an MZR91 then a Sharp MT88 and most recently an MZR900.
Now a funny thing happened yesterday. In my eagerness to leave work (isn't it odd how a wave of relief washes over you when your shift ends) I stupidly forgot to pick up my MZR900 and MX200 from my desk
Only realising when I was on the bus home withnothing to listen to
So.... in desperation I dug out my old MZR30 that has lain forlorn and almost forgotten in my room for the past 3 years or so. I charged it up and gave it whirl. I plugged in my MZ500s and....
MY GOD!!!.... i'd completely forgotten how this baby sounds. The headamp on it is much much better than that on my current MZR900. Seems to have much better dynamics and is clearer, almost as if a veil had been lifted. It only runs for 20hrs continuous if my memory serves me well.
A stark reminder that "Not all that glitters is gold". I think I shall be having some serious consideration about maybe going back to this rig on a permanent basis.
Sound As Ever
