freddyjollo Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 out of interest does any one use hi md discs. I was looking at Ebay UK and the silly prices - £19 a disc or this advert for a new 3 pack http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Pack-Sony-Hi-MD-1GB-Media-MiniDisc-3HMD1GA-/222135987913?hash=item33b8562ec9:g:VTUAAOSw3ihXTYNq for £130. Seems like a lot of chancers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 I still use 1GB Hi-MD discs, got about 50 of them which hold my entire music collection at 192k. They're mostly the original dark blue/red ones. Bought them back when they cost a more 'reasonable' £5 or so. I'm not planning to get any more, and certainly wouldn't pay the silly prices being asked for now, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoPimpKiller Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I have about 20 of them and I bought mine back when I got a 5 pack for under $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I bought most of mine when the outfit in Quebec was selling them for $3 in sufficient quantity. They had a deal for 100 for $250 (IIRC) and I shared it with a friend who thought they were rather expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjollo Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 next question does any one have one of those Okyno HiMd decks I see they can get got from Ireland EU but the ones there dont seem to have a digital out which seems to defeat the point of HiMD?

sfbp Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 The disks recorded by a HiMD deck can be played back on a USB-connected HiMD portable (or transferred to PC for that matter). So it hardly matters. Does look like Sony**** being paranoid again, but as I've said many times, in the light of history (and file-sharing torrents) who can blame them? **** one can reasonably infer that the lack of digital out was a condition imposed by Sony on Onkyo.
