I really regret selling mine. I bought it for $25 and it sold for about $80 IIRC.

You would not happen to have some "3D" sound software running? sounds like those custom "room" EQ settings my laptop sound card is always trying to enable.

I'll add to this too, I download a lot from http://www.sectionzmusic.com/.

the device will only draw what it needs. your adapter will only provide the two amps if the device drawing power from it "pulls" the amperage.

Love Audacity and use it heavily. I recently started using Wavepad to automatically split long wav files into tracks, automatically. Did I mention it can split tracks automatically?

The key word is cheap. The scope is cheap but it does have the smaller cap on the main dust cap. The blur is there because I have not been able to colminate the scope properly. My primary mirror is off just a bit. I need to get it out of the shed since the cooler nights are upon us. For the sake of a speady setup, I have been thinking of making a concrete pier mount in the back yard so I don't have to align the scope every time I want to use it. Just mount it to the pier and go. @ Bobt: LOL

Hehe, through the eyepiece shots are what I used to do until I got this: It's is still not a good enough rig for fainter objects since I don't have a motorized mount. The moon and sun (with a mylar filter) are totally doable though. I still tend to over expose my moon shots.

Nope, the PC link is just an outboard sound card for your PC to interface to the R500's optical input. It is still real time recording. EDIT* Let me rephrase that. It will work with SS in the sense that you will just play your music and record real time on the R500.

He said MD or mp3 player. I have the sansa and would not classify it as having good quality sound. It's okay but not great. You probably cannot get a hold of the iAudio X5/X5L anymore but it does have excellent sound quality. It records too. Mono only though, through the built in mic. Recording quality is best suited for speech but I have used it to record outdoor concerts and a few indoor events. Again, it does an okay job but cannot compare to MD's recording abilities.

Normally I would suggest this too. I recently found WavPad that will devide a long wave file into tracks automatically. There is a free version of WavePad also.

Do you mean an actual port on a NEtMD or Hi-MD (What model minidisc recorder?) unit or an MDPort as in the USB optical interface?

The only problems I have come across is using Fuji discs. I recorded a Fuji disc in a Sharp recorder I had then tried to do some more edits in my old R900. The R900 could not read the disc. Niether could my onld N510. Turned out the Fuji discs were all bad.

I have recorded from one MD to another. I was hard pressed to save some material and usually don't do that. I must say I was impressed with the quality considering the circumstances. Keep in mind the original MD was recorded from CD optically in SP mode then rerecorded from the line out on my deck to the line in on my Aiwa Portable which is an SP only unit.

Don't you love it? Nice score!

Glad you like them. I have some JVC's too. I have not been using them much lately. The UE's have become my everyday phones.
