Mecano Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 Hi guys!I m a heavy MD user and rather frustrated from the way things goes for todays portables. Companies don’t seem to care about anything else except size and battery life these days. :x a friend has the Sony MZ-1 and it looks (and weights!) like a war tank next to my MZR-900!.I use my mzr-900 for a year now it’s a beautiful unit but obviously not what I want and need: solid, brick-like construction and a dedicated line-out.is there any place where I can buy a new “old school” unit like MZR-50 or a Sharp 821/kenwood DMC-K9R?.A friend has a mzr-37 and I can buy it from him if I failed to find a top of the line unit like mzr-50 or 821.

Bazirker Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 Ebay. Other than that, you'll likely have a rough time tracking down an MZ-R50; most owners treasure those players as if they were gold (and should!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 I doubt you would find any new R50s. They are 1997 models! But for a used one, there are plenty of R50s for sale, other than that, there are R30s. I see R50s go for about US$50->US$150 depending on accessories and snipers etc . Most of them only ship to the states though :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystyler Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 Mecano, ebay is indeed the best place for old-schoolers, and the prices are ridiculously cheap. If nothing there takes your fancy, then the R37 is basically a "budget" R50, with most components in common. The headphone amp may disappoint but the line out is great. Ask me, he should know.
