I'm not trying to get into or be in a pissing contest...

To be fair you did start your first post by saying that you are a picker...

Also I'm not advising you to buy them, I'm just trying to say that you should not advise the guy that has them to junk them (in my post you quoted in your comment in post #18).

My reply to your 'calling me out' was me interpreting your post as implying that I'm some dork with a computer in a room somewhere that has never seen or worked with, of bought such equipment and has no intention of doing so....And breaking that implied false image of me.

Sorry if I've hurt your feelings...

@ ED: Yah, HDCD, miniDisc, and Digital Compact Cassette (DCC) are all on my audio want list...Although I've got some odd formats I did not list in storage such as magnetic wire recorders, what I believe is an industrial Muntz 4-track cartridge player, and a few other things. I'd like to own every recording format one day....

I've got a JVC HR-S3500U that looks almost the same as yours, and about three other JVC modes. I also have a NEC unit with an interesting video noise reduction feature.
