  1. Hi guys, Just bought a Seat Leon 1.6 motor here in London and there is an option to fit the CD Changer for £275 to the Grundig Aura Cassette head unit. Changer goes in the glove box. Does anyone know if the Sony Sound On Top CD or MD (MDX-66XLP) changers would work well as an alternative? The car dealer told me they've tried all alternatives but a lot of features like skip/repeat etc... don't work. Anyone got an independent view of S-O-T generally? Thanks M

    Headphones for 707

    Thanks guys I'll check 'em out. Kind of annoying that the Sony street styles are good and would be fine if they fitted tight against the ear. M

    Headphones for 707

    Thanks Daijoubu I'll check them out. I checked out the specs of other NetMD recorders and both Sharp and Panasonic don't seem to go over 5mW either. What headphones do you 707 users use? Regards M

    Headphones for 707

    Thanks a lot for your help guys. I tried the NC-2's and they are much louder. They are also rubbish - loud muffled bass and quiet muffled treble. Useless. Any other suggestions or do I have to rip to WAV, normalise in SoundForge and then transfer to 707? M
  5. Hi, I got my 707 and so far I like it except for the low output volume. I have Sony street style headphones which I like but are too quiet for older music when they didn't compress the life out of it for the sake of loudness. Any suggestions for louder headphones? I came across some Pro-Luxe NC-2's which supposedly cancel external noise. Are these more sensitive? They quoted 113dB +/- 3dB with the noise cancel off and 119dB +/- 3dB with the cancel on. Is that good? Better than the average? Seems rare to find good specification info for other headphones. Thanks for you help M
  6. Shame - probably live with that Cool! Ordered a blue 707 at a special online price and am waiting for confirmation that they have it in stock. Cheers M
  7. Thanks LCS, but you do mean on-the-fly without having to pause the machine at all? Also just to clear this one up, is there any software which can create SP quality on the PC and transfer as SP faster than real-time or is it strictly LP2 creation and then bogus transfer x2 as SP? Thanks guys M
  8. Can't find the MT877 in the UK. I tried the Sony today and it only seemed marginally quieter than my Sharp. I tend to listen in quiet environments anyway, so no destroying my ears to drown out metro trains for me. Mind you I listened to my own songs which I mastered quite loud - maybe older commercial CD's would be too quiet. Perhaps I'll order and send back if it doesn't work out. Just checked out the manual and I see they still have end search before appending new recordings. Presumably the digital REC level can be automatic as well as manual? Does OpenMG or Simple Burner allow Printing of contents or at least cut and paste of titles for labels? I just read about the N1 allowing REC levels to be altered on-the-fly - is that definitely not available on the 707? Mystyler - I really appreciate you taking the time and trouble to advise me. Regards M
  9. Well, I've come across the MT200 which looks reasonably attractive but the newer tchnology I would be interested in would be NetMD rather than MDLP. Or at least a better way of titling 30-odd LP2 tracks than on the unit itself. I'll try and get a headphone demo of the MN707 today. Regards M
  10. > Both should be able to run portable and powered speakers fine. But only half as loud, right, which may or may not be fine. If I turn my MT15 down half-way no sound comes out of my multimedia speakers at all, or am I misunderstanding how 5mW works? I guess the MT80H may be the nearest thing to a direct replacement but I'm disappointed that the newer technology comes with some compromises. Regards M
  11. The Sony is 5mW output. Isn't that about half of my old MT15? Is that enough to power external speakers? The Panasonic is 3.5mW. Jeez, I really wish I hadn't dropped my recorder, life has now become overly complicated :cry: M
  12. Does the NetMD / Simple Burner not add to the convenience? I know opinions are divided but it seems like a worthwhile feature even without uploads. Anything else specifically better on the 220 - I might as well look at any similarly priced non-netMD for that matter like another Sharp? The lack of record-level on-the-fly setting might be an issue on the MN707. Thanx M
  13. > I still think you should get the MR220. Hmm...why would that be? I thought you had no experience of it? Is the sound quality better? Thanks M
  14. Well OK then I'll get an mn707 from the net if you insist. One question though. I have Nero both as a purchased download and bundled with my burner. I can't see an option to install ImageDrive anywhere. Presumably this is crucial to use Simple Burner to send CD's to the Minidisc as editable SP's? Regards M
  15. Ha, but the Sony doesn't have a mic input I hear you say. Well maybe you're right. Also can someone confirm that an SP transfer via the ATRAC software is only 2X speed? Is LP2 significantly lower quality, and how fast is that? What's the difference between Simple Burner and the supplied software. Thanx M
