600 clone , if you set them side by side , the cases are identical , everything except the name on it and the color .

When you Import to a Mac it will all come in as WAV regardless of what you record in , I am on a Macbook Pro , have the RH1 and 10p anything Imported from a HiMD gets converted to WAV , so PCM will be the best quality SP will just be a Lesser Quality WAV , and you really wont ( unless your an absolute Audiophile ) know the difference .

I wonder if the Buffalo MD-HUSB will work with the Mac software , It uses BeatJam instead of Sonic for windows , says it will connect to a Mac, but How ? I might order one if I can get that info , the AA battery and internal english menu is very appealing

I saw an RH1 at Sofmap in the used section for 26,800yen yesterday , sitting right next to an RH10 for 16,800 yen I will wait for the PM's post a pic of them later.

You could clean the contacts a little more pressure , but the inside of the cradle or the 10p itself be a little careful about that , to clean the 10p take the battery out , use a small VERY firm hobby brush ( Model railroad store , type hobby shop will have ,them they are white, and look like the little brushes in the dental isle to get between the teeth. Again just damp not wet , scrub the contacts inside the 10p , and the cradle as well ( 3 in total , 10p inside, cradle inside, cradle underside connector.)

Ok I saw the mic , I will look at mine again , it is the same mic , just different cable out , Do you know how to solder ? this will need a LOW temp solder and a very high quality headphone cable , what we will do is replace the cable that is in your mic , so that you dont need an adapter .It will connect directly to the MD.

Turn it upside down (facing down ,so that the switches are also down ) and work that pin with a toothpick , to see if something is jammed up in there , there might be some tiny piece of debri blocking the contacts .

you bring a point about the cable , as that the USB cable for the 10p is a funky one , Take a Qtip and some alchohol (not the drinking kind get that rum outa yer hand boy) and try cleaning the metal contacts on the funky end of the cable wit a dampened Q-tip . also if you move the cradle around alot , I am wondering if one of the wires inside the cable might be opened , ( short means closed , opened means broken) ......

MTV Unplugged" Alice in Chains /Live" on pre-recorded Production MD , in my Kenwood DMC-F5R

Update: I have an older Kenwood DMC-F5R , MD recorder , DC 5 Volts input , and it doesnt like less, I can run it off of the Sony 4.5 volt , but it wont charge as well . The kenwood 5 volt supply charges it nicely , and I know how it acts when its is charging , if it sees to low a voltage it just wont charge. Believe me I have tried all kinds of stuff. I can run it from a USB to DC connector , but I have to be sure it is 5 volts . So anyway direct to the point , The Battery pack is now down to the last LED marker indicating almost empty , and the Charge indicator on the Kenwood is still going , what that tells me is that it is a REGULATED STABLE 5 volts out even when the internal voltage drops , . I mean I have the Litho almost drained , and it is stable at 5 volts . and will stay there untill it is empty . That is very very likable.

Hey "Justlistening" Try this , klik this link and read my most about this setup . At this very moment I have a Sharp MD-SS321 player connected to this battery pack , and it works beautifully , it comes with a cable to go from USB to DC and a Power supply for the wall that has USB out . this will give you portable recharging as well as a Wall wart for the Sharp , two birds one stone ( it is a little expensive , but a big problem solver) http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?s=&am...st&p=130702

Ok today I bought a Lithium Polymer batt pack , ( I had a bunch of unused points on my Yodobashi Card) the " Powerbank Slim " model FPS440 Specs : Internal 3.7 volts 4,400 ma ... 4.4 amp hours folks. USB out 5 volts 1 amp ( I can confirm it , a lot of batt packs state that but are not anywhere near 5 volts , iPod packs are really bad about that) On/Off switch Input DC jack 5 volts A wall wart , that is World Voltage 100- 240 Volts 50/60hz here is a link , http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/komamono/fps440u.html I have connected it to the RH1 , with a standard USB cable , and the RH1 lit right up , absolutely no problem .

I have a Lith Ion batt pack , from Filco /Diatec 4.4 amp hours 3.7 volts , with a USB out , it charges from 5 Volts DC , I just tried to charge it from my Macbook Pro, right USB and Left did the same thing , a Pop Up warning window comes up , and says " The device connected is drawing too much power and the USB port will be deactivated" That should answer everyone here , Ivan is giving fair warning and is obviously correct , I just wanted to test it out . Certain devices can indeed charge from USB as long as the power requirement is within base values , but on a computer with an OS that doesnt give a warning like OSX will , you stand to do damage if you arent completely sure of the needs of what you have connected.

That IS weird, 80 works, 1gb doesnt ,..........?????

Does the Cable for the 959C come off? if it does , post a pic , maybe I can make a rewire chart for you so it connects directly to the MD http://sp.sony-europe.com/media/8/3575 this is the same mic from the pic that I have but mine says 959a , this site calls it the 959c , but doesnt show XLR outs......

umm serious multiposting dude, look when you hit the post button , dont hit it twice because it didnt refresh , just scroll up and hit "View New Posts " it will be there

Absolutely marvelous video , of a Guy MAKING his own tubes , just beautiful ................... I present , "Les Electrodes" http://paillard.claude.free.fr/

hmmmm , looks like I have my work cut out for me ............

Well the Micro Track 2 has Implementations that I had suggested to M-Audio ( A full 30 page PDF presentation ,audio samples , graphics, specs , engineering design etc.) I owned the Previous model , and found it wanting , they fixed most of it for this model , still dont like the internal Battery thing ( How dumb can they be ) anyway ,.... The new one has advantages for line level recording that MD wont have , ( Limiter , Multiple settings , various other likables like HUGE file size ) PCM on HiMD is about 1 1/2 hours , HiSP and HiLP are not PCM , they are lesser bitrates of ATRAC compression , but can be converted to WAV . If your coming off the board Balanced ( XLR outs ) then the MICRO is what you want , it has TRS ins , and you just make two cables XLR -> TRS or by pre-made , The Limiter is before the converter I believe if they actually listened to me and will give you much better definition in the long run . For portable recording though, MD still rules . battery issues aside , the Mic pre in the Sony MD's is hot , and Clean , learn to use them properly and you really cant get better , ( AT-822 connected to mine)

Sting , Ten Summoners Tales!

American Club Idol isnt American Idol ... yet , But it is a Japan version , for School aged artists (Highschool , College etc) Justine Suzuki , took guitar lessons from me , three years ago , Music Theory , basics of composition . She was on Idol in Japan , with her guitar , a still from the vid You go girl! quote from the website "The keyboard-guitar duo the Dimuzio Bros., captured top honors in the "Best Band" category. Singer-musician Justine Suzuki calmly walked away with the "Best Female Vocalist" honors. Bryan Stenson took the "Best Male Vocalist" award with his heartfelt Japanese ballad. " http://www.accesseonline.com/tokyopm/story.php?id=12 And of course , the music for this commercial , is none other than My Girl , YAY! Let me try this , pop up player from her MySpace , 1 song only at the moment . http://collect.myspace.com/music/popup.cfm...F4xMTk5NjU2OTIw

In the R910 that came home yesterday for 18 dollars ........... The Jackie Frost Trio , first CD before Calliope ( unreleased , actually only available in VA ) A sample ? The latest goodies http://pulleytunes.com/db5/00435/pulleytun...emoCalliope.mp3

My MZ-R70 lasted 6 years ......... hmm not worth anything .....? or was that sarcasm , I havent had enough coffee this morning and MD did have a serious enough effect on the portable world, a lot of Review sites and online stores , electronic shops etc, when you look closely at the link or button to get to portable audio you will see an icon , that looks like an MD example CNET Portable audio/MP3 button

There is an RH10 at Hardoff for 10,200 yen , .... that is about 100 dollars , Box and all goodies .

Well , if you cant believe it , then you just dont understand the economics . The MD recorders were introduced at a time when Sony was trying to be "Cool" , everything was about experimentation ( Hey what if we could do THIS!!) and it wasnt so much about the money , Sony had other markets to sustain them , so the little Audiophile niche was more of just having fun with it . Enter MP3 and the internet , " Woo Hooo !!! we can SHARE music now . ........... Hey no biggie Mp3 sounds like crap , so no big threat >"" MD gets a little wider distrobution , then , Whoa MP3 PLAYERS !!!! now you can CARRY the crap around with you . Sony doesnt bite ,.... Net MD STILL a long way off . Then comes the Ubiquitus Ipod ......... ( we can hear the collective groan from the entire MDCF ) , Sony STILL doesnt truely bite ( geez a little slow eh! ) Net MD and Sonic Stage , Net MD , hmmm ok cool ,............... Sonic Stage ,.... God the Bugs and gliches , ...........Enter Itunes , with a STORE where you can BUY the Crap . If we can sell Crap , and people will BUY it , then WE had better not let them make GOOD copies of ANYTHING , or WE will LOSE MONEY . Enter" DRM " Digital Rights Management , and the end of any reason to make a "Matchbox " that will record in Wav . if you want a device that records in any quality , at THIS particular time and space , then you have to pay for it . wait a couple more years there will be a DIY kit on the shelf at your hobby shop for 20 dollars .
