I HAVE THE POWER.....

The MZ R410 is in my opinion quite a legend, here is why I think so:

Now first of all this review your reading is recent; I am writing this on the 28th of May 2008, I purchased the R410 in Feb 03 and started to archive Vinyl Records via the Line In, at this point in the review I would just point out that admittedly the quality of sound on LP4 is Very inferior to LP2 or SP...the difference between LP2 and SP is hardly perceptible.
Some people have expressed a dislike of the AA Battery bulge on the back, these people tend to be the fashionista and therefore their views should be taken with caution.
Now on to one of the larger points I intended to make...After comparing this model with many more expensive models I started to notice something which made me keep making a beeline for the R410 when 'leavin the Ouse..and that thing is that this model (compared to several other minidisc players I have used, one of which was quite a lot pricier) seems to kick out quite a Punch!!! Especially when used with BIG Headphones, Now I have noticed that all the modern mp3 players I have ever experienced sound very malnourished or even inaudible when outside, and as small is currently still the dictat there is not many modern portable appliances which have the Power.

In a final note I would also like to say 2 other things I think the interface is intuitive and easy to use after apprx 5hrs of use(basically menu's sub menu's & sub sub menu's).

And lastly I foolishly dwopped this thing on three seperate occasions...twice outside on to concrete pavement, and once when I was sitting on a very high Barstool on to said Bar's V hard floor, my R410 has visible damage from this last adventure and still works perfectly.
I would definately buy one if you can find one on 'T Net...
