Hmmmm....sounds fairly simple, thanks for that!

Cool, cuz I packed about 300 of them into my car last night and took 'em home! I would've been well protected if I got into an accident! Anyway, now the mission is to research the hell out of soundbooth construction and hit the Home Depot....

Hi, I'm entertaining the idea of throwing up a soundbooth in my basement for voiceover work. Well, at least I am now after discovering a bunch of these foam inserts that my company is throwing out by the hundreds! They seem to have an ideal contour for lining a booth, though the foam is not very dense. It's hard to tell from looking at a pic, but does anyone see any reason why this stuff shouldn't work?

Well, the packaging was Japanese but seemed authentic, but I was under the impression that Minidisc Canada was a reputable dealer. I'll be getting in touch with them today. What's funny is the battery still works in its swollen state. And luckily, the recorder has suffered no ill effects, just a very slight warp where the battery expanded. Thanks for your input!

Sorry in advance if this post is not in the right section, but I couldn't find one that dealt with batteries. Anyway, I ordered a new Sony NH-14WM from Minidisc Canada, and I got it today. I inserted it into my Sharp MT-877 as I would with any other NI-MH gumstick, to charge it up. All seemed to be going well, when about 3 hours later, I heard a "pop" sound. I didn't really know what it was, and I thought nothing of it until it indicated that the battery was charged. After removing the unit from the charging cradle, i noticed that it had a bulge in it where the battery was. To make a long story short, I couldn't get the battery out without partially disassembling the recorder, because it had "exploded", but not leaked...it just "puffed-up". I don't get it....is this just a fluke defect, or did I somehow screw up something as simple as attempting to charge a battery?!?

I bit the bullet and went for it...I figure there isn't much risk for that price. If it doesn't work out, I'll try your suggestion. Thanks!

Nickelback, REM, Tragically Hip, ANY R&B, but mostly Nickelback. Of all the fine rock music to come out of Canada, the world embraces this tripe.

Hi all, I recently picked up a used Sharp MT-877. It's a beautiful machine, but it has its original 6-year old gumstick and it's on its way out. I've been scouring eBay for new ones, and I keep coming across the Vapex brand of batteries. There isn't much out there written about their quality, but they seem to be big sellers in Australia and the UK. Does anyone here have any experience with them? Here is a link to one of the sellers, who seems to be reputable.
