Buen día!

I thought you only had 2 videos, but the other 2 popped up to watch! lol As you mentioned about collecting vinyl, there are always collectors & people loving the formats that bring them joy. I had just assumed it would have a niche following, but I was horribly wrong about that. I was fairly early in the CD era when they came out & got my 1st CD player in 1985. I guess I'm a digital snob. lol I sold my MD stereo deck on Ebay in the mid 2000's, only because I broke my portable MD player & recordable CD's were a huge emerging technology. I kept my hundreds of mix-tape MD's I made during the 90's & early 2000's though. I got back into MD around 2013-ish? That is when I started my collecting & it reinvigorated my love of the MD format. I totally missed the emergence of MDLP & NetMD until I got back into MD's. Thanks again for sharing & I subbed to watch your other content as well.👍

You're very welcome! I never sold any of my MD stuff, and I'm always hoping to find more (without breaking the bank). Thanks for watching, and subscribing!

wow 20 bucks that's a GREAT price!! And It's in mint state. Congrats!! I love the MD too :D

[@JulianDeBacker]

Yes, was really happy!! And yeah, lovely format all around.

Scott is a great guy! He sent you a great unit. That MD player reminds me of my MZ-E710. The bottom is extremely similar from the looks of it. Just different design cue's on the buttons and lid. The pioneer was a nice find at 20 quid! Hope you enjoy your new MD units. 😊 You're right on there being a slimmer MD unit out there. That honor goes to the Sony MZ-E10. Speaking of which.... Would you consider maybe doing a video on the Sony Qualia 17 MD player? That's model # Q017-MD1 and is one of the rarest and also quite expensive at a hefty 1900 USD when it launched.

[@JulianDeBacker]

Thanks for the info! Apparently, both the MZ-E10 and the Qualia can only be charged from their own supplied docks. Makes them quite vulnerable (or at least more difficult to chug around). Would love to do a video on the Qualia, but don't have a spare $1900 haha.

Great video! Love your passion, and the minidisc content :) keep it coming :)

[@JulianDeBacker]

Thank you! Will do!

Scott is a wonderful guy. He did a front panel swap on my Sony MZ-N920 to fix an issue with the buttons.

[@JulianDeBacker]

How nice of him!
