ES are all heavily built and SP only, except JA333ES (MDLP)

Very good idea Jimma, if I got one sample, I can try to print it in 3D in Vietnam.

Braidkoff, you got all that Sony stuff ? I can understand why there is place ONLY for only Sony. Sony products can be very exclusive. I advise you to find a good Sony deck, even a basic* one but able to be used as a DAC. Preferably a 24bit-48kHz DAC unit but 20bit is good too. Holy Grall is QS920/930/940/980 and all the ES serie. And for your MD disc & case design, please go here : (*) standard SP mode, type R : so if you get more Sony MD units, all your MD will be readable.

3D printing ?

closest topics about your final quest I have also some links about how to make beautiful labels

I like to listen to the ful MD without changing the order of the track list (tracks that I disliked have been erased)

Too much cables for me, I like a headphone / earphone direct connection

sold RH1 on eBay http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&LH_Auction=1&LH_BIN=1&_samilow=&_samihi=&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=%22MZ-RH1%22&_pppn=r1&scp=ce0&_rdc=1

And hang you high and short after for breaking our heart with false joy !

hundreds... So MZ-RH1 is a must have investment for you as it can upload your own recordings Buy it and sell (easily) it after the work done

just download your music (torrent files) and copy it again on MDs cannot do that however with your field recordings.

Copyright jonathanpotato http://www.jonathandupre.fr/articles/articles.php?id=55&cat=17#p4 1st, a good Atrac and 2nd a good DAC search type-R or type-S in the minidisc.org browser decks : JBQS and JBES are the best. But if a good DAC is your only concern, a recent and cheap 24bit-192kHz DAC will be much better, or even a 16bit-48kHz professional sound card

Vietnam is more secluded than your country for the MD format. Finding "recent" units (> 2000) is extremely rare; a lot of good-old-SP decks though.

I would say "type R" (SP) / "type S" (MDLP) decks, check the minidisc.org browser with these words. Sony QS 920 and +, Sony ES : you need money (100-150$ or more). Sony JE quality is acceptable and easier to find . Any deck is good (for SP listening) if it is cheap...

My future choices will be to get more decks. SP only with type R or MDLP type S decks. Mobile units : - to save your money, SP +/- MDLP units (Hi-MD are more expensive) - I prefer a SP than a MDLP recording (comptability, better quality) - old and solid units for listening with AA side battery if you can - one or two more recent units with type R for recording SP, or MDLP type S if you record and and listen to MDLP. - a large stock of MD blanks (more than 100) + storage

But why did you do "a recording last night in SP mode on 1GB disc via the RH1" ? You must use Hi-MD modes only with a 1Gb disc. And this kind of disc can only only be read with a Hi-MD unit. Edit : stephen is faster tham me and I assume also you wanted to say Hi-SP

A lot of other members have tried at some point to repair themselves their units. members who have professional skills : - jim.hoggarth in UK - jonathanpotato in France - phamcu in Vietnam Who else ?

phamcu direct contact su_su1972 yahoo.com

phamcu confirmed months ago that E can be used instead of B. If you need more technical datas, ask him directly (PM).

Maybe the minjack to minijack + jack adaptator is cheaper for a portable MD. But those 2 x [RCA to XLR} are good too for decks. 2 sources : plug your CD player to your JB980 using the optical cable and use the MD deck has a DAC.
