I've got a nice condition MD-X5 system in great working order, includes remote. Following caveats: CD Door is missing, but drawer works fine CD player is getting TOC error Everything else is fine. Not sure what to ask for this though. Anybody interested?

No. I will mention it again when they ship. It seems the DR7 is backordered.

Kurisu, Whoops, sorry. I already ordered. I did however add a message to my order asking that they credit minidisc.org. Do you think that will work?

Actually, no I am not on that board. However, via your prost here I did go over there and read that thread. I am going to try that solution. Thanks again.

Well I tried the email you posted. Bounced right back with "this address no longer accepts mail". I am becoming more convinced that buying from them may not be so prudent. The problem is, no one lese seems to have the DR7.

Kurisu, OK, I decided to buy from Audiocubes. Unfortunately it was a no go. I tried to open an account. Everytime I tried I was told my email address seemed to be invaild! I decided to write them an email via thier inquiry form and was told the same thing! Don;t know where to go from here. Guess it will be hard for the forum to get a kickback if I can;t place an order or even contact them.

Another question: Does Audiocubes.com ever issue any discounts/coupons?

Iowa. I have had no exp. with Audiocubes. I was worried mostly about returns. Have you had any experience with returns? Is this where you recommend?

Kirisu, Thanks again. It seems you are the only one here ;-) After some research this does seem like a good choice. Unfortunately it also seems hard to find. Minidisco seems not to carry it niether does PM. I have never ordered from Audiocubes.com and am a bit leery of thier pricing and policies. Any suggestions?

Thanks. Not sure about the importance of MDLP. What have you got in mind?

OK, I spent $229 on the 420. Would like to stay under that.

Thanks for responding Kurisu, The recording qaul. was not an issue. He is no newbie and is big fan of Sharp. However he is looking for something more akin to his older 702. Heavier and better made. He could probably figure this all out himself but I am trying to do it myself. Any suggestions?

Hello all, I am not only a novice but not an MD user (I am a fan however). My brother however is a long time user and fan of the format. Unfortunately his old Sharp 702 reecently failed. In an attempt to replace it for him I ordered the newer Sharp M-DR420S. Upon its arrival we both agreed it was a rather sharp downgrade from the old 702, features not withstanding. The old unit was heavy and solid, the new one just th opposite, too much plastic. Knowing nothng about Sharp MDs I was hoping you all here could direct me towards a good replacement for the 702. Used/Older are OK. Mic IN is essential. Any recommendatios would be appreciated.
