nrand Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 As I wait for my new machine to arrive, I have been trying to do a little research. On the MD Community Forums Equipment Browser page there often, as is the case with the Denon DN-M2300R no detailed production history info except to list it as Intro 2, where the Denon DN-M2000R by contrast is intro 1 Can someone help me with the production date of this machine, also the differences between Intro 1 and Intro 2 if anyone knows. I look forward to posting some detailed feedback on the 2300R soon. Any others here own or have used this machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 My brother got the double-CD version. For me the sound is ugly so I hope you will be more lucky with the double-MD version ! I have a Sony MDS-B5 professionnal deck. This one was my first deck, got an incredible sound and decided me to stay in MD deck's world so I bought also a Sony MDS-JB980.

nrand Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 A My brother got the double-CD version. For me the sound is ugly so I hope you will be more lucky with the double-MD version ! I am not sure how the double CD and double Minidisc machines are similar spec wise - can you say some more about this? Bear in mind, this is for use in a radio station that has its own processing before transmitting. Also, all my disc recording is done on a Sony MDS E12, so I will be able to compare the playback quality between the Sony and the Denon soon. The Denon will travel with me back and forth from home to the radio station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 This double-CD is in France and me in Vietnam, I will see check for specifications during my next trip. Till then, I am still interesting with your feelings on your double-MD deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrand Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 The unit arrived today from Austria. It is brand new. I played a couple of discs that I had recorded on the MDS E12 through it and in a normal listening environment, I cannot find any reason to fault the sound. It will suit me needs really well and as it is still brand new, unbelievably, it should last a very long time as I am careful with my gear. On paper the MDS E12 should sound better, at 98+ db signal to noise ratio, vs 92+ db for the Denon, but live or on air no one will be able to tell the difference so long as my levels are properly set. These retailed for $2200.00 new and I paid 336 Euros for the same - go figure! The seller had a BIN price of 1600 EUR on it, but gladly the auction did not attract much attention. With shipping it cost me $500.00 AU. By far my best deal purchase this year at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 On the MD Community Forums Equipment Browser page there often, as is the case with the Denon DN-M2300R no detailed production history info except to list it as Intro 2, where the Denon DN-M2000R by contrast is intro 1 Can someone help me with the production date of this machine, also the differences between Intro 1 and Intro 2 if anyone knows. Looking at the cited page on MDCF page, there's a 1998 in one of the link URL's for the 2300R. On the 2000R page there's a reference to '97. These "Intro 1" or "Intro 2" don't really mean anything but in this case year "0" appears to be 1996. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
