You meen it is because I don't choose a good sample rate at first ? Damned me with my PC 24bit-96kHz audio collection ! Ok tomorrow I connect the MDS-B5 with the Marantz DR-6050 CD player and/or to the JB980 optical out to fix the sample rate at 44.1kHz. Stephen, read my comments to my first CD recording from PC with the Marantz DR-6050 : seem like it need a week to record 80mn of music ! Long live minidisc and PC's CD burning (no, don't hurt me) !

Ok... Pham Cu will need a long time to read my mail. At least if something is getting wrong, I can give it back to him ! I let you read it, somebody maybe has some advise. << I have noticed some problems on your Marantz DR-6050. Maybe it is just some kind of learning phase tricks ! - after some hours of listening, sound get down and up or stop completely then sometimes restart, maybe because of they are non CD-R audio or a bad recording quality or the surface have scratches or is dirty; - the left tray (CD recorder) is fussy and tricky : often he refused to open or suddendly open or even refused to close even if I turn off and on the CD player . And the problem is not solve easily. I noticed that if you listen a CD in the right tray then push stop then Cd-R under the right tray eventually the right tray will accept to open ! - the right tray does not seem to have problems except with some CD-R discs but it is perhaps because of they are non CD-R audio or a bad recording quality or the surface have scratches or is dirty. Does your single-tray Marantz DR-6000 has such problems ? I just change my wrapped 100 CD-Rs TDK with Maxell CD-Rs audio. They are accepted by the Marantz DR-6050. One good news ! It has taken some minutes to understand how to get sound from the PC and after success for sure the sound is too loud. One must use the ReplayGain plugin with foobar2000 player instead of getting the sound or the recording level down. And during my first record test (24bit-192kHz audio files source...) , the recording process stop completely after two tracks while foobar2000 was still playing music ! Now the CD-R audio inside and completely stuck if I don't "finalize" the recording ?? "Update" is the only thing I can see on the screen, nothing move. Then I decided to turn off the Marant DR-6050. The CD-R audio tray said "reading", "initializing" and then showed one track only. But the Marantz DR-6050 accepted finally to restart the recording, so it is what I am doing right now, a new recording on the same CD-R audio. Just Cross my fingers ! So what ? Maybe it is more sure to record first with a CD-RW audio and then transfer the final good track list to a CD-R audio. Recording from a PC sound source look difficult and risky. Long live the minidisc and... CD burning with the PC (no, don't hurt me) ! I did not see such CD-RW "audio" in 42 Huynh Thuc Khang street but maybe you can help me : 38222247/38211527/39141618. Thanks Philippe >> Gasp... Atfer 15', the recording is still working well BUT I don't see that the Marantz DR-6050 is creating new tracks after every songs. Strange as I use the Post-track silence with foobar2000, exactly as I do when I record a MD !

Just another Digital Audio Interface Receiver IC LC89051V ! Right now my B5 deck is just a (very good) MD player (SP only). If I don't find it is not important as I have many portable units and the JB980 deck for my recordings. But as Pham Cu is ready to continue to work on it, why not ?

Pham Cu brought it yesterday evening. He also brought my new CD player, a Marantz CD Recorder dual-tray DR-6050. He said that the digital in is faulty (I knew that) and so the "Digital Audio Interface Receiver" IC LC89051V need to be replaced. I will look in France first but if you already know where I can order it in UK or even in USA (I have family in California), Ok !

I think it will be very usefull to record CDs in real time : - http://www.qobuz.com/ : why not now register to listen (and record...) 16bit-44.1kHz quality music in streaming ? - and my 24bit-96kHz Flac files (player : foobar200)

Is there a database on minidisc.org or somewhere else giving any lense reference and all decks using it ?

So anybody got them ?

Hey Stephen ! I am not that rich ! But you have the right to make me dream after all. As I live in Vietnam, it is not tomorrow that I will buy a BluRay DVD player that expensive if I don't need it (Blu-Ray disc are expensive as they are "original" - but I doubt a little, DVD here are 99% copy !).

Just to tell you that there is not only one (as you said in your auction) CD changer + MD made by Sony... There are bookshelves also : go to http://www.minidisc....shelf_Sony.html and search for 3CD and 5CD with Ctlr-F ! Even 5CD/MD ! Not only Sony anyway, Panasonic also like my SC-HD615MD bookshelf http://www.minidisc....SC-HD615MD.html . Hey guys, I am looking for a Megastorage CD player ! Some kind of anti-Ipod philosophy I have. http://www.ebay.com/...360.c0.m2000061 Look here ! http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/239751493/CD_JUKEBOX_400_DISC_JUKEBOX_DVD.html

There is a guy in France who sell the Sharp MS-702 that is exactly on the same minidisc.org page : http://www.minidisc.org/part_Kenwood_DMC-J7R.html ) at the same time than you : http://laserdiscplaza.fr/forumld/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=3154... rare coincidence. You need to add pictures of your unit and your accessories. Maybe you will find a new home for your MD, I hope so.

Pierre "100 decks" in France, has right now a JA333ES black deck in perfect working order.

And you can also record in real time with 24bit-88/96/192khz lossless audio files that you have downloaded (as legal as you must) from your PC. - PC with a good audio card (minimum 24bit-96 kHz capacities) and an optical audio output - player like foobar2000 with also minimum 24bit-96kHz settings, Asio4all or Kernel Streaming audio output - usefull plugins like ReplayGain (specially with high level recorded albums, so then your MD level record at +0.0dB is always OK), Post-track silence (WinCue if you use Winamp) and Advanced Limiter - the plugin DFX Audio enhancer will not be good for those high quality sources, only with low level recording and MP3... or if your audio card is not that good !

Not an eBay auction but you will still have Paypal garantee. http://annonces.ebay.fr/viewad/LECTEUR-MINIDISC-PORTABLE-SHARP-IMDR410-NEUF/5044774923

http://cgi.ebay.fr/100-MINI-DISC-CASES--/250924249111?pt=UK_CE_Cassette_RL&hash=item3a6c403017 if it is too much for you, make your own auction...

Pierre "100 decks" got it ! The deck work perfectly !

Maybe you can give us more details about what models are on this shelf.

You can increase the quality of your recordings with MP3 if you record - in real time from your computer + a good audio card + optical out - use players WMP, Winamp or foobar2000, not Sonic Stage ! - plugins like Wincue (Winamp) or Post-track silence (foobar2000) - DSP audio output like Asio4all or Kernal Streaming with settings 24bit/192kHz (if the audio card is able to) - and above all, the DFX audio enhancer (free version) plugin for these players - you can also use that plugin with lossless quality files but with recent music (high dynamic), the sound will be metallic and distorted, so listen before and power off DFX if it is worse before recording ! - at last, use ReplayGain plugin so that all songs (of all MDs) will be recorded at the same level (and more with no distorsion, unless you use too much DFX). Vietnam : fine, note taht I will go in France the 22th december. Pham Cu (vietnamese, living in HCM city) will help you to find what you want or even sell it to you : http://www.5giay.vn/...d.php?t=3360572 . Bookshelves : only SP and MDLP bookshelves in Vietnam. The good area is Nhật Tảo / Nguyễn Kim, Hô Chi Minh, Vietnam" (Google maps). Bookshelves will cost from 1.000.000 (50$US) to 3.000.000 VND, average 1.500.000 VND with the speakers. I bought an MDLP Onkyo FRSX7 (1.200.000 VND) and a SP Panasonic SCHD-615MD (5MD! 2.500.000 VND) bookshelves.
