zokuchou Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Like most people, I originally got into minidiscs due to their compact size, re-recording without degradation, editing capabilities and sound quality. For many years I owned a modest amount of equipment (one deck, one portable and less than 100 discs). However about 4 years ago that all changed when I discovered the MDCHANNEL website https://picasaweb.google.com/minidisc.channel Then my whole world changed upside down. Bizarrely I never knew that all these discs existed (I even went to Japan early 2006). I got my first Maxell Twinkle pack from Chie and then I was hooked. 4 years later (and much poorer) I've managed to amass quite a few discs. While there are discs that I'll never find (Benetton, Kenwood etc) I have to admit I've done pretty well, although it's taken 4 years of collecting to get where I am now. As a collector, when you have an 'ultimate' list it's always nice to discover something new that's not on that list. There's not been that much, but I have a few things to share. The first thing on the list is Asahi discs. From what I can tell they must have been a promotion as the disc inside is made by Saehan. However the packaging makes it unique and I thought I would share some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sescoscuba Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 hi Zo I understand you, I am in your same conditions. I have started to collect blanks when collecting machines, came to me dozens of blanks of different models. I believe that ending the collection of blanks is almost impossible; many models are very rare and only sold in few countries; even the most common ones were presented in 60 and 74 minutes; many are variations on the same series. I am pleased to have completed the collection of all BitClub (or at least I hope); I also wrote to the TDK for information. The same TDK does not have any more info on blank; I checked it after my letter from the area of the TDK, they have connected 20 times to see the blank. The collection of blank and machines is like a puzzle; with lots of patience we can reconstruct the history of these objects. The fundamental problem and that from 2003 onwards, the informations are really poor. A nice day to all Sergio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugbahr Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Apologies to Zokuchou for the hijack: I've had an offer (a really, REALLY good one) for one or both of my Kenwood discs. Before I decide what to do, just thought I'd give members an opp to grab em. Anyone interested?? My value is unimportant - tell me what YOU think :-) Thanks for listening!
