Summary:
TDK 74 Min Mini Dics Pro (MD-RXGPRO74EB) is a very high quality MD Dics. The exterior fronts inside from 'iron' just like TDK MA-R Cassette Tapes from mid 1980's. It has a big plastic case, but I prefer small ones personally. The disc can accept New Hi-MD format too. I have tried it with my Sony MZ-NHF800 Hi-MD player. Of course the capacity is quite low compared with Sony Hi-MD disc but it is good for enjoyable listenning. 270MB Hi-MD capacity is good for 2:10:00 min of 256 KB/s Atrac3 Plus recording, with sounds better than the original 74min Atrac3 format. This means, 1.75 times more capacity gain is possible. 74=>130 passage is good for recording 2~3 albums. (I have also tried MD-RXG 80 non-pro version with Hi-MD format which is fine with the New format too. It can accept 2:20:00 minutes of 256KB/s Atrac3 Plus recording with better than original MD quality.) The shiney grey and yellow appearace of it is much better than unattractable Blue-Red Hi-MD Sony disc. Moreover TDK RXG 74 PRO has 4 screws at it's bottom side like at being cassette tapes that I have tought of replacing the discs with Sony Hi-MD discs, but the Sony Hi-MD disc case is not openable! So I have give up doing this. I hope TDK will produce Hi-MD high quality disks like their Pro version soon...

Strengths:
Very high quality, stable, strong, says buy me!

Weaknesses:
Quite heavy to use on portable MD Players. Too big case, and the case is not holding the disc inside fine.

Similar Products Used:

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
