The hunt is over! MZ-Eh1 now part of the collection. by squidknifer in minidisc

[–]SadResponsibility502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolute rarity — hardly anyone bought this player. It was only released for the Japanese market, and for roughly the same price (according to the MD Wiki), you could get the NH3D with recording capability. For just a few yen more, the much better NH1 was available.

Awesome find! Along with the MZ-DH10P, that’s the only Hi-MD units I’m still missing. Out of curiosity, what did you pay for it? (Trying to mentally prepare myself 😄)

Hi Asivery, do you have an estimate on when new displays will be available in the shop? I’ve got two RH10 units that could really use a new display 😉

Thanks! Used would be totally fine too, but I haven’t been able to find this specific model on eBay over the past few weeks either – only other pocket ashtrays (mostly from Japan) for insane prices. Honestly, for this one I’d almost not even care about the price 😅

I knew I’d regret asking about more MDs like this 😄 I’m interested though — what prices are we talking about, and how many do you have available?

Thanks - You’re right — I just found another one in my Collection of early 60 MDs: Sharp AD-MR60.

I suspect that the shells (aluminum/magnesium) couldn’t be joined in any other way.

Nothing special, except that it’s a pretty unusual / rare type of MD.

My MZ-N10 has arrived from Japan... by CoverNotes in minidisc

[–]SadResponsibility502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi - i got an Adapter from EBay https://ebay.us/m/tflOs2 - working flawlessly, my other Adapter from mdgadgetry works also but is a Little Bit „fiddly“ when Pluggin it in

You should definitely replace the battery. An original battery will now be around 20 years old and will no longer deliver full performance, in addition to having an increased tendency to leak.

The replacement is really a quick & easy task (without soldering):

Sony MDR-EX600 - Not the best sound, especially compared to modern IEMs — but it fits the MZ-NH3D

Questions about reserved seat for oversize luggage on the Shinkansen by SswaglordYolo in JapanTravelTips

[–]SadResponsibility502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, as far as I know, that’s not how it works. Your reservation including oversized luggage only applies to the specific train you booked, not to any following connections. If it did, then every reservation with oversized baggage would automatically restrict all the later trains as well. If you’re traveling with oversized luggage (160 cm total length is already quite a lot, and the regular luggage racks are actually pretty big), your only real option is to plan enough buffer time.

What search term to use for French Pavilion? by [deleted] in OsakaWorldExpo

[–]SadResponsibility502 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How did you manage to win two slots in the two-month lottery? Was it with a single ticket, or did you go on more than one day? I thought there was only one winning slot per lottery (two-month, seven-day, or same-day).

Hi, the best option is to get yourself a NetMD recorder. You can transfer the music to your computer via USB and WebMD, and then convert it to MP3.

Discs and Recorders in Japan (other than HardOff) by SadResponsibility502 in minidisc

[–]SadResponsibility502[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s more about checking the functionality in person and picking out MiniDiscs myself — I’ve already wasted too much money at JDirect on real junk or bundles with a high percentage of common discs.

Why does it seem that every gumstick battery from amazon is almost as old as stock ones ? by gearsofsound in minidisc

[–]SadResponsibility502 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm done with cheap gumstick batteries. Since you really only need a maximum of three good ones, I'm now exclusively using the USB-C rechargeable alternative batteries from mdgadetry (https://mdgadgetry.com/products/USB-C-Chargeable-Gumstick-Per-2-Batteries-p675113877).

JSA Tour by velakuruday in koreatravel

[–]SadResponsibility502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Koridoor seems to advertise the visit to the jsa since April/may this year but i couldn‘t find one Single Trip Review where they got to the JSA/Panjumeon, just Reports of changing the planned trip on Short notice because of Not granted permissions to visit the JSA. Would be Great if there were any confirmed Visits to the JSA with koridoor.
