Oh yes, those are yum, yum! From just the right era too, where tape formulation was at the peak of its quality, before things started to go downhill....
Marco.
Tapes are becoming silly priced these days. I have a few blanks lying around, but mostly have prerecorded ones. Still listen to them and enjoy it, but I still like minidiscs. they are damn near indestructable and can be re recorded so many times its not worth thinking about. Not analogue I know but damn handy. Not into portable file players. Maybe I should get into it???:eyebrows:

Can you recommend me a simple, but yet high quality, good sounding mini disc player just for playing? I don't bother with recording!
Cheers.
S.
I stick with the Sony ones. They are all good, but much will depend on if any compression was used in the recording altrac 3 is usually the best to get. You can use the portable walkmans and plug the headphones into your stereo ...sound pretty good. I have 2 or three walkmans and either one or 2 big units...cant remember . If I have 2 you can have one. or if you want a walkman just say.

I'm inspired to dig out that box of old minidisc recordings (old vinyl recordings) and look for a player
I love my Pioneer MJ-D707 MiniDisc deck. I don't use it often, but recordings made via my Meridian 507 play back virtually as well as the original. It's a really good recording medium for my purposes. Certainly vastly better than any cassette deck I've used.
cant remember. it or they are stashed...might only be one now; cant remember now. but have been using the wee walkmans. I like them and have a net md as well which is a handy little job. will have a look next time I get out to the studio.

I used to use omething like this to run it when connected to my stereo(walkman) as it saved on batteries it uses a 3 volt dc psu
On eBay MJ-D707. Looks tidy!

Is the sound presentation ''neutral'' sounding from these machines?Quote:

Good start price Shane, i prefer the 'D5' tho..
A good High Compliance cartridge..He's got two of these. If it wernt Gold '412 II' but instead the Black & Silver '412 IIISE' i would have gone for it..

actually on gumtree this.

They don't look much & i know they are only 5" drivers but those 'Warwicks' are really nice sounding speakers..
I'd have been interested more if he had listed the speakers & stands separate at say £70, although a trip to Glasgow to cart speakers may be a bit too much. anyways I dont need em as I got the Tannoys. Thought some of the Glasgow lads may have been interested.Quote:

set of Akai speakers...
Like these and fancy one

These NOS boxed, Philips 9710 full range drivers will fetch a pretty penny I reckon.

Look minty mint Geoff . What do you reckon to the sensitivity? 100 dB?
Can't remember offhand. I'd guess around 94db. Mine seem pretty sensitive (and sound astonishing).Quote:

Keep the Suggie ;)
haha.. Are you sure it's what it says it is? Looks a familiar shape.Quote:

I think I was being hopelessly niave and hopeful when I started watching this at 99p... thinking I might be able to snap it up at the last second:

Stellavox TD88 reel to reel. The build quality looks amazing!
I've got a very similar demagnetiser bought as new from a boot sale about twenty five years ago for £1. Very handy for demagnetising all those fuses and mains plug pins & cables, especially the directional ones. :D
I wonder what screaming effects it would have to some humbucker pick-ups.Quote:

I am intrigued are these any good ?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2315095665...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Think they were designed for home cinema use.
No. They are as Grant describes and for small PA systems. I tried a pair ('cos they were cheap) and they're horribly coloured due to poor damping and they lack anything ressembling bass due to the small box and high resonance light paper cone with stiff surround.Quote:

Think the DC6 was a bit better and sure they did a floorstanding version as well. My 637's are what you'd like I think.
I also know that the AMS8 is supposed to be a very good speaker but the only pair I've seen are an Active pair and I have no idea if they are any good and how on earth I would use an 'Active' speaker... :D
Grant did you buy the 637's that were on the bay ? I was watching those... ;)Quote:

Think the ones on the bay were overpricedQuote:
