    The New Look

    currently on BasicX - I like it
  3. I'm always on the lookout for prerecorded cases, very hard to come by! I did get two packs of 10 on ebay about two years ago... but could do with more, I have 65 prerecorded now... how many do you have?
  4. I'm 100% Irish - Dad's from Tipperary, Mum's from Dublin I was born & raised in Sutton, Dublin, living in Lusk, just down the road from Skerries
  5. I got a 1Gb MMC card today - works great in the head unit. I'm busy filling it for the journey home
  6. I first came across MiniDisc way back when the whole MD vs DCC "war" was going on. I had used Walkmans for years and had a pretty big collection of compilation tapes. Always loved recording stuff from the radio & vinyl. I bought my first separates system in '94 - And wanted to get a tape deck, got the Sony TCK-611S, loved the adjustable recording levels, calibration, the quality of the recordings on chrome or metal tapes was incredible! Much as I wanted to I couldn't afford MiniDisc.. it was cheaper than any of the MD decks at the time. The price of the units here in Ireland was way too expensive for me until around '99 when I got an MDS-JE530.. straight away I was converted, loved the editability of the recordings, the sound quality was great too.. as soon as I ditched the freebie cables that came with it!. A few months later I got an MZE-33, it still works now except for the battery door being a bit dodgy, it got some amount of use. I was on the road working as an IT engineer for almost 3 years, had the 33 connected to the tape head unit with one of those cassette adapters, went through 5 of them! Never a moment of bother with the MD player!. about 3 years ago my brother went to the US and brought back an Ipod, so he'd no more use for his R91, gave it to me for my birthday. This was around the time I discovered ebay too! ouch! I wanted to get an MD head unit for my car, loved the JVC KD-MX series, just the idea of having a single din, single slot CD?MD player was amazing! Finally got a 2900R for €150, unfortunately the lens packed in after less than a year of heavy use. Pricey to get replaced - €130!.. That replacement lens has since packed in so my girlfriend has it in her car, she would only listen to the radio anyway. So, through browsing this incredible resource, reading the excellent advice on offer I've bought an E10 & N10 in the last year or so. I've also started collecting Prerecorded MD's, normally around £4 on ebay.. I now have 65 of them!
  7. Pearl - Janis Joplin on Prerecorded MD ...bringing my total to 65!
  8. I'll stick with my 1210's & Citronic mixer
  9. With you on this one GTR.. seeing as there are no extras, and probably very little in the way of audio options on these discs, do they even have Dolby Headphone?
  10. Been busy bringing it back to life... with sucess! :-) Works great now JVC have a few head units with SD slots starting at $329 http://www.jvc.com/product.jsp?productId=P...01100&PathId=52

    "wife Swap" UK

    got to agree, the subject is a bit of an eye catcher, not your typical "off topic" subject ;-) Haven't seen it GTR, but have heard about just how bad it is... I thankfully only have 4, yes 4! tv channels here :-)
  12. http://www.yakumo.com/produkte/index.php?pid=1&ag=Autoradio the one I got was rebadged "Acoustic Solutions" so it may be some other company in the US
  13. A new car radio - Acoustic Solutions ICS 150 - usb port, SD slot, line in, cd... alas I have it less than a week and it's going back, with one of my cd's stuck inside.. POS!
  14. What you hear is what you get: Live at Carnegie Hall - Ike & Tina recorded in 1971 when they were both in their prime! Chronic Future - Chronic Future four 13 year old kids rockin' out!
  15. two from Ace Frehley - Loaded Deck 12 Picks
  16. agreed there atrain, only seemed to work with duracell's even then, not for long + I've no cigarette lighter in my car
  17. are there any3.5mm plug fm transmitters that are better than the belkin tunecast? http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/Product....product=1419693 I got one, not impressed with it at all...

    I agree with you bob, the selection doesn't really appeal to me either
  19. Scottsdale by Chronic Future ...great track, considering they were 13 when they recorded it

    Seems like the prices are pretty good
  21. holy moly! that's one hell of a deal! well done!
  22. great pictorial! I, like Tek, remember this from the MD vs DCC (lol) times.. it was on the cover of What Hifi, half wrapped in paper. The headline was "Minidisc is here, and we've tested it!"
