Hello, Reading through the FAQs and the forums I have managed to get confused. I have a sony mz-rh10 HiMD bought as my last new MD portable. I have used Minidisc since the late 90s starting with the old jb920 deck to record my vinyl. I recorded from the turntable to minidisc through its analogue rec input. I now want to transfer my vinyl recordings on MD to the windows XP box in FLAC format or other lossless format like WAV. Reading the forums it seems to say i can use sonicstage to upload NetMD using SonicStage 4.2.02 and deselect the DRM protection. Elsewhere it seems to say i cant use my RH10 to upload to the PC leaving me confused. Is this because Netmd format is a different format to SP analogue recording? Looking at the manual It looks like i can upload recordings using SS and burn it to audio CD. I could then rip the cd into FLAC using Exact audio copier. Should i stick with the latter idea? I want the transfer to have no loss before i start converting things. thanks for your time Martin N

I seem to remember on some of the email groups I am a member of, that the first ipod was the best sounding of apples output. Its apparently declined with time presumably due to cutting costs to fit more features and capacity to hold off its rivals. Specifically its the headphone amp/stage thats being going down in quality allegedly. Martin N

Yes I think that could be a good way to go. Martin N That could be usefull I dont see where on their website were you can pay by escrow? Theres the option for paypal and bank transfer. Martin N

Any reason to use moneybookers rather than pay pricejapan.com directly? I expect they add there own fee if this is a third party service (escrow?)

I have found the Onkyo MD-133(S)on both pricejapan and audiocubes2.com They both look like they would ship to the UK. Do you have recommendations or used any of these before? thanks for your help Martin N

Hello, I am considering buying a Onkyo HiMD fullsize deck but i cant find any UK dealers. Are there any UK users that have bought one and from what shop? If i am stuck i could try a european dealer so again anybody purchased from an European dealer? Thanks for your time Martin N
