Does by any chance someone can do the same for Sony decks / bookshelves / bomboxes ?

I don't use LP2 and LP4. Only SP and HI-MD modes. I understand that LP modes sound much better with type-S but it is not important for me. I come back little by little to SP mode so my music can be listened on my SP mode only MDS-B5 deck. But as I never have a deck before, I don't know if non professionnal deck sound very good. Which ones can be trust (amazing sound criteria) ? Denon DMD-800 (222 US$) Sony MDS-JE640 (250 US$) Sony JA3ES (266$) DENON PMA-510AE (?) Sony MXD-D1 (266$) Sony MXD-JE700 (222$) Pioneer MJ-D5 (211$) Sony MDS-S35(216$) Sony MDS-302(216$) Sony MDS-503(216$) Denon DMD-1500 (105$) Kenwood DM-7090 (83$)

Since I have a pro Sony MDS-B5 with such an incredible sound (for listening), I would like to compare one day with the MD Denon sound, opportunity I does not have yet. one thing I does not know is does someone can tell me if - a solid and heavy machine - any (or only high-end one, ES serial?) type-R deck is better than any portable type-R machine ? I have some Hi-MD and MDLP type-S portables machines so I would like to know if decks (see my other post) I can buy here in Vietnam are opportunities yes or no (1) for listening(2) for recording.

No need.. I have plenty of portable MDs and even a pro deck, the Sony MDS-B5. I know where they are, if my son cry for one.

Denon DMD-800 (222 US$) Sony MDS-JE640 (250 US$) Sony JA3ES (266$) DENON PMA-510AE (?) Sony MXD-D1 (266$) Sony MXD-JE700 (222$) Pioneer MJ-D5 (211$) Sony MDS-S35(216$) Sony MDS-302(216$) Sony MDS-503(216$) Many bookshelves, like a superb Panasonic SJ-HD615 for 305$. Sadly, those price are a little bit high.

So, just book your plane ticket.. For example, I ask the price for the boombox Sharp MD-F100, http://www.minidisc.org/part_Sharp_MD-F100+F15.html : 27$

THe boomboxes are systematicly restored as you can see on a picture (many shops do that). But that does not mean that everything will work correctly or for a long time. They restore basic and vintage high end HI-FI 70's to 90's audio in the same area. Many shops also for electronic accessories. They is even a little shop selling genuine Van Den Huul cables...

As I have bought myself a professionnal minidisc (Sony MDS-B5) from an audio professionnal guy, I just sent him your request to know if he have some information. May be a simple upgrade could be to use high quality connectors. I advise you also to record in real time from your computer audio card optical out using DFX Audio Enhancer plugin for Winamp / WMP / Itunes...

manual : maybe this way http://www.audiocircuit.com/index.php?c=ONK&m=MD-105-X

I said already of this forum that I use DFX AUDIO ENHANCER as a Winamp (+ WinCue) plugin for my real time recordings. The sound is incredible. Try ! Now it is even available for Itunes... http://www.fxsound.com/

Here they are... I did not take time to note what were the models because of the heat and because quite nobody make effort to help me in that procedure !

I live in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh). I am french. Sure, I am always on the run to find any good place about audio stuff, specialy minidisc. I forget to say that there is no Hi-MD disk in Vietnam, only 80mn discs.

Just thinking that next week I will bring my camera to take pictures of those boomboxes...

Please, just listen a while your MP3 with WMP / Winamp with DFX audio enhancer... That will change your life.

In Nhat Tao street, it is easy to find MD boomboxes and less easy MD bookshelves. For a deck, it is a little bit more difficult - I have noticed less than 10 - and they have only old ones (non MDLP) or 110V ones. Huynh Thuc Khang Street Market in first district is also a good place to find bookshelves (one shop specialized, price higher than in Nhat Tao but a good choice), MD blanks and the lasts & expensives second hand MDLP players/recorders... So sad, I missed a MZ-EH1 (210$) just because I was not aware of its rarety.

gimme some links please...

Yes ! There are hundreds of those boomboxes and quite many with MD (from 30$ to 140$). Few decks (around 100$), some bookshelves (around 70$) and very rare walkman MDs (around 70$... rather twice the e-bay price). Those are foreigner price (first offer)... What do you have in Malaysia ?
