\-=Golden=-// Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 SP recording compared to LP2 is't really worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugo Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 For me, if source is CD, ATRAC SP is definitely worth it. But if source is mp3, I would just use LP2. However, if you pretty much listen to them on the go, LP2 will probably be a better option because there is so much environmental noise and it's unlikely for one to tell the quality difference. Best thing to do is try both and see which one works better for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daijoubu Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 use better earphones and you will hear a difference.i'm using etymotics er6 with sony n10 and the difference is obvious.Not via NetMD, nor low quality 128kbps MP3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazirker Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 Yeah, I find that LP2 recorded via NetMD sounds noticably better than optically recorded LP2. Optically recorded SP does sound better than NetMD LP2, although the difference isn't much. HOWEVER, if you're the type that frequently sits down with some good headphones and really listens to music, you can hear weaknesses in NetMD LP2 that will not be heard in SP mode. As a result, most of my music is recorded in LP2 (25 discs worth) while I have a few other discs for SP stuff (10 discs...but note that these ten discs hold 80 minute of music a piece while the LP2 discs hold twice that, making the amount of LP2 music I have compared to SP mode come out as a 5:1 ratio.) So yes, there definetly is a point to SP mode. I bet if NetMD was capable of REAL SP mode transfer and not just phantom LP2 quality I'd hardly use LP2 at all.

\-=Golden=-// Posted March 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 trippie thanks for the tip but i don't think a aiwa would be suitable for my sony N10, considering their 2 different kind of company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leland Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 I had become so used to listening to LP2 that I completely discounted the difference in sound quality. Then I recently made a close comparison between an SP digitally recorded with Type R and a Net MD copy in LP2. There was a clear difference. You have to be paying attention to the detail and really just focused on enjoying the music to care about the difference, but it is there. I still use LP2 for virtually all my minidisc uses.

mAjEsTiC Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 -=Golden=-// if u care about pricing and u wan good earphones/buds then i suggest u look @ the Sennheiser range (namely the MX400/500)...really good buds and also great value 4 money... :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazirker Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Hey Golden, why does it matter if the headphones are a different brand from the unit? To the best of my knowledge, it's not like the units discriminate against other brands. A headphones jack is, well, a headphones jack regardless of the company that made it and the headphones that you use to play back the music shouldn't really care. I mean I could be wrong...but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\-=Golden=-// Posted March 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Bazirker I'm not discriminating any brand here, just that i think having a different brand of earphone on my MD dosn't look good just like if i have a nokia phone i dont want a ericsson face plate do you know what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daijoubu Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 What about PC? All parts are from different compagnies :mrgreen: Monitor: ViewSonic CPU: Intel MB: ASUS HDD: Quantum Speaker: Cambridge Soundcard: Creative Mouse: Microsoft CD-RW: LG GoldStar DVD: Pioneer Network card: D-Link Switch: Linksys ADSL modem: Nortel 56k modem: USR Robotics Alimentation: Deer Floppy disc: Samsung As you can see, NONE of them are the same brand, check yours if you want, doesn't matter at all..

Bazirker Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I see what you mean; the way you said it before made it sound like you thought the Aiwa headphones wouldn't work right with a Sony md unit. Just as a thought, I think Sony headphones are generally more expensive than other brands and you'd likely be better off with a different brand (such as the ones suggested above.)

highlandsun Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 I hope you realize that Sony owns 100% of Aiwa, so it's not even a different company, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\-=Golden=-// Posted March 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Daijoubu Pc parts are a different story, not one company makes all the parts for a PC(i think) Even company like IBM have parts from other companies in their computers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazirker Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 OK, but still, how does that make them different? Golden, his point was that different brands interface with each other just fine. A pair of sony headphones vs a pair of aiwa headphones doesn't make a difference as far as brand is concerned. A headphones jack is a headphones jack.

Bazirker Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Motorola? What MD parts does motorola make? Unless MD's recently got cell phones built into them and I'm just out of the loop, I'm not aware of any motorola parts that could be in an md unit...
