Yea we probably did have this conversation before. I seem to have more and more of that these days! Yes they are Sharps which I like better for a lot of reasons...the main one being they can sit in synchro mode awaiting an analog signal...great for unattended recording (Sonys don't have synchro mode on analog signals).
I guess I would try longer patch cord and see if it makes a difference - low cost trial. What I would get was not really hash but the "pulsing" noise of the drive in MD. Gets picked up by the radio ferrite and then recorded. On 3/16/08, Brett Saylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I can remember having this conversation once before on this, possibly with > you Russ.
