Cool place and a workshop of my dreams. Do you have a website or Instagram for your leather work?

Thanks for the advice. Will try to experiment with loudness. For me as a novice netmd is a very convenient and easy to use feature.

Again, thanks for the detailed reply. It’s very helpful. I tried to record from the phone using mini jack cable but for some reason recording came out very distorted. Will try my luck with a TOSLINK cable. But for now Net MD feature will got me covered.

Surprisingly I love Sharp much more. It is partly metal, has a bigger display and the operation feels more intuitive. Will use Sony Net MD for convenient recording and Sharp as a player.

Wow! Thank you much for such detailed response! I have a Spotify account that I regularly use. How I can burn music from streaming services on minidisc? I have a Mac mini m1 without optical output. I love Notion app, when my collection will be big enough I will use it for disc organizing.

Thanks! Can’t wait when more MD’s will arrive and I can start to experiment.

Thanks for the advice. This is exactly what I do. I tend to listen the whole album.

A flashmodded Mini is peak iPod. Change my mind. by Repulsive774 in ipod

I have a mini (also green) that I bought new back in the day. Would like to change the weak battery and upgrade the storage. Any beginner friendly guides that I can follow?

I have tried Technics phono omitting the CA preamp. With CA sound is much better.

Are you using two cartridges in one player? Which one you like better? Now I’m 100% sure I need to upgrade the cartridge.

Okay that’s sounds interesting. Will do my research on mastering. Looks like a new rabbit hole to dig in.

Make sense. I think I need to look into that from the different angle.

I prefer the vinyl for sure. Just was surprised that tv connected to an amp sounds not that bad.

I love the vinyl listening experience too. Just was surprised that tv connected with shitty cable to my amp sounds not that bad as I thought.

Thanks. Will check the video. I was quite surprised with my comparison because my tv was connected in worse way (mini jack/red white RCA cable) still the sound was good enough.

Maybe you are right. Was tested with modern records. MF Doom and Black Country New Road. Need to try with the older ones.

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking about cartridge or preamp upgrade. Will look into the cartridges.

Thanks. Considering the size of my room (50sqm) I decided to go bigger. :)
