Review: Having finally got round to purchasing a Stereo with built in Mini-disc I decided to trade in my existing MD Recorder for a more up to date player. Having strayed away from Sony to other brands in the past, I'd learnt my lesson and this little wonder was the obvious choice. The main plus points were
- Looks fantastic
As confirmed by the admiring looks and general interest created when I popped it onto my desk at work. - Plays LP Minidiscs.
More music per disk means less disks rattling around in my bag. I can record them in this compressed format so I certainly want a player that can play them! - Has an inbuilt rechargeable battery.
I find this a real bonus as I don't have to keep searching around for back up batteries. The battery life is nice and beefy. Enough for quite a few tube journeys. You can also add on a normal battery to beef the life up even further - Great Sound
The sound quality is just what you expect from a Sony MD player. A vast improvement on my previous Panasonic player. - Good controller.
The controller has buttons in logical places which do logical things! The remote controller is simple to use and does all the right things. - Attractive cradle charger
The player comes with a handy cradle charger which doesn't look out of place next to your hi-fi equipment (very important for girlfriend "thats not going in my flat" considerations!) Negative points
- Only charges via the cradle.
I often leave a second charger at work to top my MD players up in case I've committed the usual mistake of leaving it playing in my bag. This isn't an option with this player (unless you buy another cradle!) - Pathetic included headphones
Why? Why are the headphones they include with your expensive new player always so bad? I would have given this player 5 stars if it weren't for the headphones! With my own headphones the player does sound beautiful though! |
