Sorry for for my complaints, but I needed a shoulder to spill my anger and frustration. I've had it with Sony's lack of reliability with their products. Once a brand name I considered one of the best, is now no different, in terms of quality, than the cheapest and cheesyest corean and chinese brands.
I recently contacted Philip Hamm, a long time Minidisc supporter (damn, and I love MD too), and he too was a little frustrated with his experience with Sony's crappy quality with MD decks. He also considered on dumping the format for good, what!? Philip dumping MD!???. I understand him. I am going on my 4th model and my lattest one, the MDS-JB940 stoped recording after a month of being purchased and I thought that this pseudo-ES model would end this trend. Do I have to mention all of the Sony products that have failed on me within the past decade in less than a year of mild use? Like Laser Disc players, Discmans, portable systems, receivers, etc. And I always choose the best model available if not the ES version, not the run-of-the-mill ones.
But, except for my 5 disc carrousel ES CD player, no one has ever passed its first year of life! What is wrong with you Sony? Can't you get it yet!? Not a single one of my other equipments show this kind of unreliable performance. Heck, neither one has even failed at all! That includes brands like Yamaha (my receivers and DVD), Pioneer (DVD and LD), Panasonic (TV and VCR), Toshiba, Denon and JBL (all of my speakers). I ended "trying" these brands after a defective and glitchy Sony counterpart, only to find out that they were in fact a LOT better (like Yammaha, Denon and Pioneer) So, or it's a damn bad luck trend or Sony's ass. Sorry about that last one, but I am pissed. Any one feel the same? Or had any dark experience with Sony? I'll check your responses after I come back from the Sony service center (once again) and see what's going to happen to my "new" MD deck. Thanks for reading.
Remember: "It's a SONY" shhheeeeee...it
