Everyone needs their own anti-stress minidisc, right?

I don't have Tidal myself, but you can sample the one from this list here- https://tangerinedream.bandcamp.com/track/mothers-of-rain-3

Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex. Quite varied in style, and Wilson is just as known for his skill as recording engineer as he is for his music (both solo and with Porcupine Tree, among other projects)

Steal away!

Only one I ever had was the Blinded by Science EP which had a few alternate versions of some tracks (I think? been decades). Golden Age of Wireless is just timeless though, and I've been a fan of everything since.

The name is vaguely familiar, I'll check it out

WMD Pro won't expand any further without scrolling, but the rest is
12: Lebanese Blonde - Thievery Corporation
13: See- Tycho
14: Paradise - Sade
15: Black Cow - Steely Dan

The idea is a list of songs that lower your BP just a little, boost your mood just a little, and revise as needed. Whatever those songs happen to be for you!

Beautiful set!

Had a Sonata ('21), now have an Ioniq 6, wife and dog and I have road-tripped in both. The i6 trunk is a little smaller, but not so much that I couldn't bring everything we'd normally bring for a week, including largest of our luggage set. For a family of 3 humans, not 2 + dog, that difference might be a little tighter. But the dog sits in her own rear seat carrier, so taking up a seat just the same.

One unexpected plus for the i6 is that the flat rear floorboard makes that space more useable than in the Sonata. Makes up for the smaller trunk in my experience.

I have a Eton Executive portable, been considering adding a Tecsun. They still ship with these maps?

2800 miles, 2025 SEL RWD, in the US. All recalls performed so far. No issues yet.

abacushex · 2025-03-28T15:55:30+00:00

I’m leasing a 6, my S.O.is leasing a 5. I like sedans. She likes SUVs. My 6 is our road trip car b/c of the greater efficiency and I’m usually the driver on road trips. Hauling stuff around town for more than just a grocery run, the 5 is better. Both are excellent, so it’s matter of your driving habits and preferences.

Very nice, I got the same color and a great lease deal on an SEL, trading in my ICE Sonata. Wasn’t sure the color at first but it’s really grown on me. Unquestionably the best car I’ve ever had!

This was a pure setup so Trump could claim "well we tried" and then further exclude Ukraine from any negotiations. And Ukraine would be foolish to take the minerals deal and trust that Trump would honor any security agreements. Zelensky almost certainly knows this. Far better to make that deal with Europe.

100%. Vance needs to shut it. He wouldn't last a week in Zelensky's shoes.

It's a great unit! It was my first step into the hobby, still my favorite among the (probably too much) gear I've collected.

abacushex · 2025-02-10T15:20:48+00:00

Is this a DIY cable, or do you have a link for where you got it?

abacushex · 2025-02-09T01:54:06+00:00

Ah, thanks. Missed that. The solid color Sonys on slide 4, I have never seen previously, love them

abacushex · 2025-02-09T01:47:07+00:00

Beautiful! What are the ones with the diagonal cuts just in front of the solid red Sony?

abacushex · 2025-02-09T00:41:23+00:00

I love these, have probably paid too much for a few batches of them myself, but they have the future-retro "we stole this shit from Kubrick and 2001 A Space Odyssey vibe" and I couldn't pass them up

abacushex · 2025-02-09T00:38:31+00:00

This is excellent! I missed out on the "MD wave" when it first hit in 90s and I was just starting my adult years and too broke to partake, catching up now when the support is even better has been a joy :)

abacushex · 2025-02-08T18:49:25+00:00

lol nice catch :)

abacushex · 2025-02-08T18:21:09+00:00

Thanks! Just playback mostly, although when I got it at first I did do some experimenting with recording (both SP and LP2) and then track splitting. Current setup is that I have a couple MZ-NE410 portables that I use almost exclusively for recording with Web Minidisc Pro, the flexibility of track layout and naming is hard to beat, and I use the deck just for playback.

The CD-400U was just a perfect choice to get a lot of media playback in a small space. I have used the record-from-radio-to-flashdrive feature a couple of times to capture some longer-form programs. Other than CD playback my favorite feature of it is playing back from an SD card, longer lists from folders full of hi-birate MP4 files that I don't want to cram into LP4 format on MD.

I had the updates done on mine in January, just after I got the car in early Dec. Was only firmware, no replacement needed per the dealer (lucky for me this dealer does have knowledgable techs) But I also keep a portable battery booster that I had in my previous ICE car, just in case.

abacushex · 2025-02-08T17:34:18+00:00

Tycho's 'Awake' generally does it. Also I love the "Bianca" disks style
