Before logging my comments on the MZ-R30... Am I correct in the assumption
that there was some kind of SMTP conversion on this message that resulted in
a bcc field being included visibly in the message body?
Christ, if the product I serve as point for did that we'd be out of
business... hopefully, it's either the Steven's client or someone needs to
spank their ISP for not setting the MX up correctly.

I have an R30 and I absolutely love it. I would imagine the R55 or one of
it's other decendents is even nicer, but I haven't really played with em. I
would even risk the debate and say that the difference in audio output is
remarkably close to that of my portable DAT deck (PCM-M1), considering all
the psychoimaging going on. My attorney regular goes to concerts with me and
patches optically to my deck using my md deck. And the CDs he burns, sound
only marginally different. Course the model is several years old, and I
doubt it's still in production. But if you can score a close-out for under
say $225 (which is what I bought mine for from an outfit in California),
it's a good deal. I doubt I'd ever consider buying _any_ used md portable
from anyone I didn't know, simply because they're so delicate. But just bear
in mind when shopping on ebay and places like that, if it's "catchy"
technology, the sellers want way too much even at the opening bid.
I frequently see old TCD-D3 DATs (so obsolete, they're practically an
ashtray) go for over $400... which is rediculous considering they're
probably sporting badly worn heads. What's worse is that I routinely see the
PCM-M1 go for $650 and you can buy new ones @ Oade.com for that price.
Bottom line, if you're paying more than $250, just spend another $100
and get the R55
Peace,
Tom
