Whats your favourite accessory?

It can be anything audio related but let's exclude Headphones and Headphone Amps as we talk about them every day.

Mine is my Minidisc Titling Unit.

Back in the days before net minidisc and before Minidisc Decks has PS2 keyboard connectors, if you wanted to label a Minidisc that you had written you had to do it very laboriously using eith the handset or the buttons on the machine itself.

This remote keyboard took some of the wear and tear off the machine and significantly speeded up the labeling process.

I remember first seeing this in a SONY INSIDE catalogue. When I enquired about buying one I was told that I couldn't due to it being illegal to use in this country. Apparently it's wavelength clashed with some other frequency that was already allocated so Sony were stopped from selling them here.

I finally got mine when I ordered it with a company in Seattle, WA. It cost me something like $40 USD and then the customs stung me for another $90 USD for import duty so it was hardly a cheap item for me.

Overall it's been a great toy to play with. Although with the advent of Net MD it's become a little redundant.



So what toys does everybody else like?


BTW, I just checked and the price was $75 not $40.

I've had this one for more than 8 years and it's become indispensable. I can't recall how much I paid, but it was more than this site has it for (got mine at a Tokyo department store in Yen).

I am also quite fond of my Energizer ER-DVD portable DVD player battery. It measures 6" x 3 & 1/2" x 3/4". It extends the battery life of my portable DVD player's built-in battery by 5 hours for a total of about 8 hours. It cost $99 at Best Buy and comes with 4 different adaptor tips for various player models. Other tips are also available from the Energizer website.

And you gotta love the three green and one red LEDS for checking battery life

My Wallet's Case; the thing the wallet came in, I keep my 1/4" adapters, Toslink plugs and adapters, etc. in it. It's really useful.

They call this a road tool, but I'm using it now with my laptop. Keeps the keyboard at a perfect (IMO) angle for typing and of course keeps air flowing below to reduce heat.

That would be the comfy loveseat with hassock and snugged-up spaniels upstairs where I listen most nights.

Tough choice: I think I'd have to say the Glass Heads!

(JMedeiros: LOL!; the ultimate accessory.)

You probably already know this but the plastic case that the Chord Co use to ship their interconnects, was designed to be reusable and in fact was specifically designed to the exact size to take 3 CDs.
