ZosoIV Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) I bought one of these decks last November on eBay, played with it a couple of times, and then put it in my closet. It has sat unused ever since, as I've moved away from MD/Hi-MD for home use. Rather than put it up on eBay, I figured a fellow MD enthusiast might appreciate making a place on his rack for it. It's quite a beautiful machine, especially if your other components are silver as well. Sound quality is amazing, even in Hi-SP mode, which is indistinguishable from PCM on this deck. I really can't think of any reason why somebody who still uses MD for home recording wouldn't be thrilled to have this on their audio rack. MSRP on this deck was $650. The deck itself, from what I can tell, is in perfect condition. There's one catch - the seller screwed me over by promising to send the remote later (claiming that he couldn't find it), and later never came. Thus, there's no remote - but if you have the matching Onkyo system, this won't be an issue. Actually, it shouldn't be an issue in general, as the unit is easy to control from the deck itself. This is, of course, a 100V device and will need to be powered accordingly. I am not including a power inverter, as I need mine for other things. Besides the unit itself, I'll throw in my last 5 blank MDs and and a few cables, along with a translated manual.Asking price: $400, which includes shipping and packaging. I'd prefer to sell to a US buyer if possible, as I've found shipping items overseas to be a hassle. PM me with any questions!

ZosoIV Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 what is wrong with you posting the same thread 3 damn times???BTW, pricejapan sell it only for 370 shipped onlyIt's called a mistake: the board froze for whatever reason for several minutes when attempting to post. I think that was rather obvious, making such snarky, immature comments a bit redundant. Price is negotiable, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen this much more often as of late. How about folks being a bit more polite. That has been one of the reasons I enjoyed this board.

Richard Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 There have been some problems with posting taking longer than usual in IE and appearing to freeze, hence some of the duplicate topics / PM's that have been occuring, - I'm not sure what the cause is at present - it could be something on the server or a bug in the software (either way there's not a lot I can do about it for now as I don't have full access to the back end). I've deleted the others now, but I'll echo Lamewings' comments Greenleaf as I agree that your remarks were out of order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrius Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Well, my teeth can't play music... and I can manage to crush food using a couple of discs...But then the discs would get dirty, and I'd need to brush them. Dentist it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xswzaq Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Damn the lack of money. I would buy this if not because I need to go to the dentist.If we could just get some of that universal, or almost universal, health care they keep talking about, you could go to the dentist and have your MD deck, too!In fact, you could listen to your latest, favorite tunes you just recorded on your deck as your dentist drills and grinds!

ZosoIV Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 You'll always be able to get false teeth someday, but Hi-MD decks won't be around forever. Make the wise choice and buy my deck It's funny - I don't really want to get rid of this deck. I just can't justify keeping it - it's not like it's some MDS-JE480 that was picked up for $50 off eBay or something. Too expensive (and too nice) to let collect dust....
