  1. Both sfpb and MDietrich, thank you for your comments. I will take your suggestions into account in terms of the battery related problem. First I will recharge my gumsticks using the special charger which a friend of mine will borrow. Second i check the connections and may fix the compartment doors using the copper foil. If all of that wont help for any of my units the problem might be the unit itself. Another hint for that can be that the same ticking sound problem appears when there is no gumstick inserted and the unit runs on the charger. I'll keep you updated since i might not be the only one experiencing those problems.

  2. Thank you for your suggestion. The contacts are fine and for most units there is no corrosion. The problem is: when I fully charge a gumstick in my black R90 it works perfectly fine in that unit. When I change the same gumstick to the R55, R91 or R900 the unit will behave like I said before.

  3. There must be some sort of virus spreading among my Sony units. As a matter of fact not only the R91 but also the R900, as well as the two R55s showed the same sympton today. The problem lies in the battery level which as for the old gumsticks is constantly low regardless of the level displayed. Since I am pretty fed up with recharging and re-checking the malfunctioning gumsticks I decided to only run my units on the battery packs from now on. So the ticking sound must be a result of the unit trying to get into the load mode without having enough power from the gumstick battery.

  4. Its was just recently that my R91 started to behave weird. When trying to start the unit with the charger plugged in nothing but a gentle tick appears. Also the unit does not recognize or reload any of my fully charged gumstick batteries (which have been reloaded using my other R90s). It won't even make that ticking sound on battery power. When using the battery extension pack the unit works fine.

    The ticking noise might be the key to the problem. Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

  5. Yesterday I was able to record a vessel passing by along with some cheering gulls. As I found out its actually quite relaxing. Not just the sound you record but the whole process of standing there trying to be quiet while you concentrate on the sounds. As soon as I have decent microphone with an extension cable I'll be out there again. This time without the noisy MD drive messing up the record.

  6. Hello everybody,

    there is not much going on lately in terms of the trade of live records and bootlegs, so I try to get this back to life.

    I am offering exclusive live material from the following bands that was actually recorded by me and not ripped of the internet. None of the recordings have been shared digitally over the internet.

    Genesis

    Govt Mule

    Riverside

    Kadavar

    There will be some field recordings using the Tascam and the MZ R50 as well (see picture below). For more information on the records and trade offers please pm me. The bands above should give you pretty good idea about the music I am into.

    Best,

    Mosaic

    2. No
    3. I give them a go every once in a while to check on their condition. Most units are solely bought to become a part of my collection.
    4. I record every type of music onto Minidisc (new and old)
    5. Yes
    6. Never used Minidisc before I started using the format 2 years ago
    7. I associate Mindisc with the time when I was able to organize my music by hand instead of going through my harddrive
