Thank you, Since it is one of three 755's I have, I may just do some research and experiment. If anyone has knowledge of and usefull tips on the G755 please pass them along to me if you're so inclined. -J

Thanks. too bad because the other is so much more usefull and would be very convienent on my Hi-MD units. BTW, I went back into service mode on my 600 and tried the two settings in Raintheory's hack for adding seed control to the MZ-R 700/G750/N707/N505 and N710. Those changes, ("7B' and"75" in place of the 00), both worked to add spepped control to the NH600 but, alsa it was still the Hi-MD version with degraded sound. -J correction: I meant Peter Maksymiuk's hack for adding features not Raintheory's. Sorry

Hi there, Just an FYI to all before I try this hack on my NH600 purchased in the US. I do a lot of live recording in my music practice studio, mostly with my MZ-M200, a/k/a RH1 and a AudioTechnica 822 stereo condenser mike. This is a self powered mkie by way of a single AA battery. Not too long ago I wanted to record my practice session but, only had my NH600 with me. I plugged the mike into the line in, set manual record levels at 23 as recommended and volia!...a beautiful recording indistingusable from those made on my M200. So, the line in on the NH600 functions as a mike input as well. At least on mine and with a powered mike. Cheers y'all, Jim _________________________ Well, I'm back already having just successfully performed the hack on my NH600. It took about 30 seconds. Mainly I was after the Speed Control as I use it to help me transcribe complex jazz drumming. Sadly, however, the Speed Control activated seems to be the version is in all the Hi-MD models with that feature. It lowers or raises the speed while attempting to maintain the pitch. The result is a terribly degraded overall sound. the Speed control in older ATRAC models may lower the pitch somewhat along with the speed but, the sound of the instruments remains accurate and articulate. Is it known if this alternate Speed Control as is in the ATRAC models also is in the circuitry of the Hi-MD models and could be activated instead of the one that maintains pitch?

Interesting "discussion"...Arvin may I ask a question about this laser maladjustment? I have some ATRAC models, specifically a G755, that makes quite a racket and often can

Well, I just popped over to MDCF for a quick browse and the board is down..."Merge In Progress". It felt a bit like Invasion Of the Body Snatchers. 'You can't wake up your wife right now, she's being merged into a pod but, soon you'll see, she'll be even better and so will you.'

Yes, nice to meet you as well. I was over at the MD Community Forum and followed the link over here to see what the situation was. I guess this new forum has really just started. I'm a member at MDCF under the same user name. Not a lot of posts but, I check in and learn as much as I can on a regular basis. "Retired from the music biz"...so many of us are but, we can ever really give it up. The death, after 20 plus years, of my last portable-(ha, 4lb at least)- cassette unit that had a speed control, a SonySuperscpoe, led me to minidisc about four years ago. I happened across a B-100 in a display case and had no idea what 'minidisc' was but, that wheel sticking out on the left side peaked my interest. Now I'm hopelessly hooked. So what is your insturment and are you really retired? By the way I got my Grados on line at a place in Washington State called the Jazz Loft (www.jazzloft.com). They are an authorized dealer, great turnaround, the owner answers the phone and they sell mostly LPs. it's worth checking out the inventory. -Jim

TC, I suggest that you buy your son a pair of Grado SR60 or SR80 headphones and you'll be sneaking his if he ever takes them off. And just got the Fiio E5 headphone amp to use with my Grados...very cool and it really hepls on the subway. I also use an AT 822, (recently discontinued I believe), for recording on my various minidiscs. And as well continue to keep and buy new much of my music, mostly jazz as I am a jazz musician, in LP format. I don't mean to put down the Sennheisers but, you may enjoy what Grado has to offer, and the price can't be beat. I often get a sense of three dimensional sonic space, and that while listening to recordings made in the 60's. Cheers, -J
