No chance swapping for a rh1 in the uk Rh1 is £280 while the 20es is a lot cheaper. (£100 ish) Nice deck when i used it but got a 555es for the SP recording vinyl duties and 980 for LP4 recording sport.

I did see a 500 in cash convertors bolton but it doesnt have lp so gave it a miss. YMCA? Not sure if there is one in bolton I will have to have a look.

What charity shop was that? Most seemto do clothes and dont deal with electricals I dont buy pre-recorded MDs as the ones i have bought sound poor probably the earlier ATRAC version they were recorded with is poorer than the later 4.5 R etc

When i read the topic title i immediately thought of full size decks. The only full sized decks are by onkyo and go for about £400 on uk ebay. Was tempted but i have a 555es so not so much now.

The 333es is also arguably one of the best and has the benefit of Long Play. I have a 555es as my best player/recorder. Failing those 2 there is the 50es and 20es decks but they do have older version of ATRAC. The jb940 is a mid range deck that is well respected which will be cheaper. It was £300 new in the UK

If you have a CD player anyhow with an optical output would it not be possible to record in real time with the NH1 deck? This is how i normally recorded/backup my CDs. Just play the CD because i want to listen to it and record to MD at the same time on my fullsize deck.

I am in the uk and bought from argos some minidisc drawers back in the day. Also highpoint branded wood and metal racks which stand vertically i bought from a charity shop a couple of years ago. Might be worth searching highpoint on ebay. In the uk tapecity website had some Minidisc storage solutions last time i looked a year or so ago.

There was a uk repairer on ebay.co.uk that i talked to about the jb940 not recording. He seemed ok on emailing but i didnt go through with it the end.

What is the decrypt tool? Is that an addin? Doesnt the rh1 only do 16bit uploading? (to my annoyance) when transferring 24bit 555es analog vinyl recordings in SP format. Martin

Yes the jog wheel seems to be the most vulnerable from what people say. Looking for a couple of years on ebay suggests the OLED display (mentioned) and the door doesnt close properly -hinge? They do feel more fragile than my other MD portables or maybe its because i know they are dead expensive nowadays While a mzr50 goes for £25 and was top of the line in its day for a portable.

How many?

What is the colour of the disk? The colour of the surface or did you mean black cased minidiscs? Martin

If i record onto my jb980 (which has NetMD) from my record player will it not be transferable using a NetMD machine?

It would be best to try and sort it out with the seller and if you dont get any joy with them ebay themselves assuming you have paid with paypal.

Interesting but it seems an unfinished site. I have had difficulty trying to find a search by keyword box. I notice there is a paypal icon so you should be covered if you do buy via paypal. I do like listening to audio books on portable MD as it supports resume from last stop which DAPs dont seem to do.

yes i am in the uk as well and would like a full size HiMD deck. There is another onkyo model but you have to get it off ebay.

I thought the khz was sanple rate? rather than frequency limits. Most vinyl rips on the net are 96khz and 24bit. The 20khz upper limit was apparently what thet thought at the end of the 70s when cd was being developed by sony/phillips. It seems since then (80s) we do notice if >20khz is present or not. It is true though that we do lose the ablity to distinguuisgh between 19khz and 20khz as we get older. That how i understand it but hopefully better qualified ppl will chip in.

I have this problem with my jb980 and sony 80mins discs. It is only after i have done a lot of editing on a disk. I record football games on the radio and edit them to keep the goals for the season. Near the end of a season i get this noisy working harder sound on a well used MD.

Nice Thankfully i am still ok with my techpoint minidisc stands i got in a charity shop some years ago in the UK for a quid. The shop assistant had said he had someone trying to fit cds into the slots somehow

That is the same way i do it. Do you have auto convert to wav on import option ticked in SS? I use foobar player to convert the wav to flac myself

I have only transfered music from MD to a PC using a RH1 so cant comment on ur recorders. "’ve been looking at the MDS-940/960/980, what others should I be looking at if I need to be buying 1?" I have a 940 and 980. The 980 is better for editing than the 940 but i dont know if you need to do any editing on the MD machine itself. If not editing, get which is the cheapest of the 2 decks. I am not familiar with the 960. The 9xx series is the mid range quality of MD decks so if you find them too expensive you could get a lower series 780?

Most allow the attachment of a AA compartment. Is that what you mean or do you want it integrated? AFAIR the budget/low end Md players were the ones that had it integrated and so not the best quality

1) Dont know what you need I use the stripped sonicstage available in the files section of this forum. Minidisc can be used like a flash drive when formated to a pc format eg fat32 so you can drag and drop as you would a protable drive. Maybe she is confusing the two different uses? 2) pass 3) atrac format. There is an option to automatically convert a file when imported into wav which is what i use. Then i transcode wav into flac and put it on my Cowan DAP 4) The Rh1 seems to be more delicate/flimsy than most other MD machines so be careful in use and get a good example when buying second hand.

I agree i paid more for a second hand RH1 a few months ago than i did for the RH1 new Have been waiting for a back up rh1 for a couple of years and waited too long Its ridiculous and i dont understand it either

I use LP2 for radio both analogue and digital broadcast with music program recordings. No real difference on my 980 for me with lp2 and that quality of source. LP4 i use for sports commentary recordings ie speech and that is fine again. CD i always record in SP and vinyl as well.
