jernikfra Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm selling my Onkyo X-B8 Hi-MD Micro system I bought in Japan in 2007. Everything works perfectly, but I now only use the timer to wake up to the radio in the morning, which is a huge waste for such a great system. Has 76-108 Mhz FM world band tuner so the radio works globally. Also has digital recording level adjustment, auto CD peak search, and the best timer I have ever used, that's why I've kept it this long. Has 4 separate timers with individual day of the week settings. Has bass, treble and 2 super bass modes. Bass and treble still work when super bass is engaged. Also has subwoofer output, and you can even name Radio stations. Records in all Hi-MD and regular MD modes. You can even select internal CD-MD recordings to be analog or digital! Back panel has loads of inputs and outputs. Comes with remote, voltage adapter for 120 volt use, original boxes, packaging, manuals, and 2 Hi-MD discs (1 open, 1 unopened) and one opened 74 minute regular MD. Instructions are in Japanese, but all menu functions and buttons are in English, so it is easy to use. Unit and speakers are in perfect shape, with just a bit of dust. Speakers are gloss white. MD drive was very rarely used, and mostly for playback, still has tons of life left. Unit is made in Japan, speakers in China. http://www.minidisc....yo_X-B7+B8.html Price is $1000 Canadian.

jernikfra Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 OK, The joke is over. Nobody fell for it and tried to buy it for $1000. The real price is $500. First come first serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfbp Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Having just acquired, somewhat unexpectedly, a CMT-M333NT, and still waiting to get it working, I fear I am effectively out of the market for the moment. The M333NT supports M-Crew, which increasingly I find is a key resource. The B8 unfortunately has no USB connection at all. In an ideal world I would like it but my world is not ideal at the moment.

Tom in RI Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Its pretty hard not to see this as in poor taste, and now why would anyone believe that $500 is the "real" price? OK, The joke is over. Nobody fell for it and tried to buy it for $1000. The real price is $500. First come first serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflaco1 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Still a considerable markup from the original $183 score at Yodobashi, hey? Good to see MD equipment more than hold its ground! Bon chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Still a considerable markup from the original $183 score Huh? Looks like MSRP was about $800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflaco1 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Out of curiosity, I googled the machine to see what it was about, and I hit the news of original purchase, the seller's pictorial. Yeah, some kind of clearance at Yodobashi, but you can check it out over here: I'm sure Onkyo had it initially at a much higher selling point. Looks like good kit.

jernikfra Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 SFBP bought this from me last month so I am MD free for the first time since 1998 when I first got into it with a Sharp recorder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sony_Fan Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 So you don't have any Hi-MD 1 GB discs laying around anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 SFBP boght this from me last month so I am MD free for the first time since 1998 when I first got into it with a Sharp recorder...And very happy I have been with it. I'd take USB connectivity as well but that was never going to happen, way too much (encryption and) software required. But the unit performs flawlessly and produces uploadable disks of whatever stripe for sending to PC via RH1.Thank you Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THIS SUCKS Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 do you still have the scms stripper that you were selling a few years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
