You're right. Sorry, I'll stop it now OK. Peace.

Excellent, why does everyone assume that you have to go through a computer... Of course you can use the headphone jack on your N707 as a substitute for a line out. Just turn bass off and the volume up to maximum (or less if distortion sets in). It should be OK for MDLP recordings. A higher end MD recorder like the Sony N920 has a better line-out mode (also through the headphone jack).

Please refrain from making such disrespectful, irrelevant comments on this board, no matter how true they may be.

I'm afraid it gets like that these days, certain people obsessed with numbers rather than how things sound. Anyway, hope you like your N710...

Sorry to hear about your wait. I just bought myself an NH700, and am content to fiddle with that until the big-boys arrive...

I took the damn thing off (the remote) - perhaps it was put on by mistake by some over-zealous Sony factory worker. As I say, they're handing these things out like sweets...

Do we need the ferrite cores though? The NH700 I bought recently had one attached to the remote control(!?) and there were 4 or 5 others in the box with fitting instructions. Surely that's overkill...
