Just reaaallllly want one! Let me know if you have one for sale please. Thanks

Been away a while, sold my RH1 and bought an Iaudio X5, love it but recently i have been missing those little plastic discs again. Yesterday i bought a NH900 , like new for £65! bit of a bargain.. I spent yesterday converting my audio collection, took a while to decide what format to use but went with atrac 3 132kbps , real shame the NH900 doesnt support Atrac3+ at 96 - 128kbps but Atrac 3 132 sounds fine for portable use. Just need to hack the unit up to 5mw and i will be back in Minidisc Nirvana!

save yourself the bother and buy ksc75s they piss on the px100s.

Oh well time will tell i suppose, i think we will see a few more units.

your talking out your arse, nuff said... Are you privy to Sonys financial results for each product, no. Do R+D , marketing costs only apply to minidiscs? No , all the overheads Sony have for minidisc apply to TVs, Laptops etc so i dont see that they can be counting on them for profits. You heard this from a bloke with a guitar - must be true. You dont see many minidiscs around where you live, Sony must never have made any money out of them then. Please support your claims with some evidence.. The RH1 and NH1 share the same DC Motor, spindle, etc , they are about 75% the same unit, theres not much R+D needed with Minidisc now and Sonys marketing spend is minimal (as we all know). I remember reading a quote from Tracey Farrington saying that 2001 was Minidiscs most profitable year.

Guitarfxr thanks for your opinion, if what you say is true why do you think Sony made the RH1? Companys will not release technology that makes an instant loss unless those losses can be recoupted from related sales, ie PS3 losses recoupted from games sales. I dont believe for a minute that Sony has never made any money from minidisc, from the mid 90s to the early/mid 2000s they were selling millions of units a year , even in 2004 they sold over 2.5 million units. Minidisc is no longer a player in the portable audio market , that much is true and i dont see it making a Vinyl like comeback but it has a market at the moment amongst its loyal fanbase and anyone wanting a cheap , sturdy and effective recording solution.

Mmmmm, i hope so but if it was usual release dates we would have heard something by now, maybe the autumn?

There is no DAC (in the normal sense) in a NH1 , it has a digital amp which by definition takes care of the conversion.

I meant the e888lp is uncomfy, i find the ksc75 very comfy when fitted right, dont expext the px or pmx100 to sound as good as ksc75 because it doesnt, it has less detail , less bass but the mids are similar, i just dont think it is balanced as well as the ksc75. I am thinking about buying a set of igrados and cutting the neck off and bending the remaining plastic into clipons, i heard them the other day and was impressed!

Hi, i currently use ksc75s and own lots of others, firstly the sennheiser 350s are not in the same league as the e888lp (e888 not comfy), never mind your ksc75. PX100 are good but again ksc75 is better. I will never go back to in-ear buds after using the ksc75s ,they sound boxed in and have none of the airyness of open cans. I have the cx300s they are about the best in-ears i have had , better to my ears than the shure e2, e3 and e4 which are all cold sounding due to the complete lack of coherent bass. If i were you i would buy another set of ksc75 for backup and get yours fixed, or portapros are nice also bit more bass than ksc75 though. Iriver ship with sennheisers usually rebadged 400s.

And this gorgeous blonde gets on, i mean stunning 5.9 slender , lips, ass , eyes all A+, She sits down next to me and brings out a minidisc player!!! It was a blue r900 i think, i couldnt look too much as it was on her lap and i would have looked like a sex pest. Man , if i wasnt married..

I have been hearing great thing about these Koss clip-ons, so i coughed up £12 and they arrived yesterday. My normal daily phones are either px200 or groovecapped e888sps but i own lots SR60s, various sonys ex71, v300, 710lp, ed21lp, sennheisers psx60 , px200 , 400 and 500s, akg k26p. Nothing too expensive but a good mix. These are the second best pair i own behind the SR60s and they are just behind them , i mean just... They sound like my SR60s a lot, same airy reproduction , tight , smooth bass and lots of detail in the mids. The SR60s are slightly colder and more natural, i have read that with 40 hrs + burn in the ksc75s lose a little warmth and the bass calms down, this may even the score!

I just bought an old netmd sony case, the black leather one, i reckon i will get RH1 and a couple of discs in it and it has gaps at the bottom for remote cable. I paid £1.99 for it inc delivery! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sony-Net-MiniDisc-Wa...1QQcmdZViewItem bought it from these guys , came next day.

AHHHH my RH1 is trying to commit hari kari! I picked it up this morning and i swear it jumped out of my hand, it landed on the only hard object on the floor, my daughters digger... It landed on plastic side edge and seems ok but i have just bought a case and a pair of koss ksc75 for it. (any excuse to buy earphones!)

Here is a pic of it after surgery

Working in the office today, thought i better take my RH1 out of my pocket and turned around and walked straight into a desk!! AHHHHHHHHH, i took it out expectin the worst, it looked ok but on the back in between the mic and line in there was a dent... Any way looking at it i thought it might be fixable if i could remove the back, easy 4 screws on back and side , remove battery door and screw from in there and it came off fine. i used the end of a pencil with an eraser on it to push it back out, its not perfect but looks a hell of a lot better than before!

Ghidora that article opened my eyes,i had no idea microsoft had introduced such "safeguards", man i wont be upgrading to vista anytime soon. The way microsoft is behaving it wouldnt surprise me if they cripple xp soon...

You want a NH700, its a great recorder, as said before may be tough to find for $100. If you buy a netmd i suggest aMZ-N910.

The miserable view from my office window in Glasgow scotland....

I think there are people who want to be able to record a gig then swap the disk and listen to an album, Hi-MD is great for that. The 3 main flash recorders are all have drawbacks as far as music playback goes, size being the main one. Sony really need to release a deck to attract new and keep existing users.

I have posted this before but a friend of mine who works very closely with the Sony design department in Osaka said that they had a cheaper model ready to release with the RH1 but it was shelved as they thought it may be detrimental to the RH1s sales. I think we will see some more units but the audience for Minidisc Hi or other is getting smaller, i think Sony had no choice but to aim it at the recording market rather than portable MP3 , i think the RH1 has been very successful. I would love to see sales figures but it is in demand and my local Sony retailer keep them in stock for long. I just wish they would release a Deck that supports MP3 playback and proper ID3 browsing!

Can you test the ouput jbdance? Thanks

Can someone else test please, i think the RH1 has a flat frequency response, Bangramans tests indicate it doesnt. I respect his skills and this needs further investigation.

When i zoom in on my graph to 1db range it is still flat. When i do the same test on my RH10 i get the lowpass filter as expected.

Hi, i was browsing Head-fi and found this topic http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=216420 , Half way down Bangraman displays a rightmark graph showing a strange freq response from the RH1 , it had a dip between 3 - 10000 then a sharp rise up 19000 where it drops as expected. He claims it had no EQ applied? I have recorded white noise from my RH1 (see result later in same thread) through headphone and line-out and get a flat frequency response. I just want someone else to check as i am sure that his result is wrong.
