Hi, I have a mint MZ-N10 player that hasn't seen much use over the years for sale. It includes the unit, remote, and earbuds only. The unit also includes the sony MD protection cloth bag. A 5$ universal charger can be used to charge the unit. I'm not sure how much these units go for nowadays, but i'll start the price at 90$ US shipped in Canada. American buyers add 5$. Paypal only, non-credit card users only.

The topic is misleading. You had me going there believing that sony killed off the MD production for a moment. As for moving their factories to china... i think theyre just doing what the entire world has already done to become more profitable. For me, lesser quality MD devices seems to be better than no new MDs at all.

Even though the ksc 35/50/55/75, Portapro, Sportapro, UR40 use the same legendary 60 ohm driver they all differ in sound. They all generally have good sound, but there are noticeable differences. Also KSC 35s dont come cheap anymore now that theyre discontinued and highly regarded by many audio enthusiasts. You'll probably have better luck finding cheaper 75s. I have seen many mods done using these drivers and ive tried one myself using cheap ksc50s that i found on ebay for 5 bucks and put them on an open set of headphones that make it sound better, or at least sound more like a porta, since there's more pressure against the ear. If you can spend around 40 bucks then stick with the portapros.

PX100s without question. The sound can't get any better and the build quality is excellent. The EX71 canalphones have a very muddy sound to it and the bass isn't as nearly as clean as the PX100s. I was very disappointed when i got them.

they are not the same. i found a dry battery case for my N10 at ebay awhile back for 6 bucks.

north american models are already set to maximum volume, correct?

PX200!

Ive always wanted canal phones from sennheiser and checked their site today and there it is. Anyone try em out yet? How are they? http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/icm_eng.nsf/root/500831

Or try Techno Mart Electronics district by Gangbyon station, near Chamsil Transfer on the green 2nd Line.

man, just shows you how poor of a job sony did in marketing this great format. MD, outside of east asia, basically spread from word of mouth or as an experiment purchase.

i just pulled out the phones that came with my NH600D and tested them out of curiosity, since they were not used once and i own PX200s and EX71s. they look like cheap, airplane headphones, but i was quite surprised with the sound. they sound alright! i guess i wont be underestimating ALL freebie headphones. they wont exactly become my primary phones, but i will definitely use them at home. im sure many of you sorny MDP users have a pair of these as well. what do you think? is it just me?

lol did they hand you literature and ask you if you're aware of the "truth"? i got hooked to the MD format after a friend introduced me to the format in 2002. i later got my first unit, the N1.

After switching to Hi-MD ive noticed myself always changing the EQ for different types of music, but when i was using my netMD, the default setting for "sound 2" sounded great for every type of music!

My favourite player was the first netMD, the N1. I use my hi-md the most these days, but i think the N1 netMD made an important step for all MDs.

Ive been trying to master setting the equalizer on my hi-md and was wondering how hi-md users here set their bands for particular genres. Would anyone care to give me some tips on how to set the bands for music like Trance, D&B, Rock, etc. right now im using my brand new EX71 headphones and they sure as hell sound very tinny to me with too much treble; maybe that's my problem.

Yeah, i left em on with winamp looping overnight. the sound and bass have improved, but still not living up to expectations. ill leave em on for more and see if they get any better.

man, i just got the EX71s thinking they were gonna be some sick pair of earbuds and was i disappointed. these things sound so tinny and the bass is weak with the trance compared to the PX200s. the volume is also weak; i need some loudass portable cans. how long do these things take to properly burn them in? ill let them burn in overnight and see how they sound in the day.

PX100s are nice as well, but to me i feel that the PX200s pack more punch. the px200s have excellent isolation. you cant hear anything if someone is wearing em with the volume up high.

i also have an N10. great little, high end netMD. i've also made the switch to Hi-MD and bought a low end NH600D. i'm quite pleased with the hi-md's performance, extra features like 6 band equalizer, higher capacity, data storage capabilities and works great with the remote from the N10. the low end plasticky Hi-MDs seem to be very durable and light as a feather, most of the weight is from the AA battery. Cant go wrong with the NH600D, which is under 100$ US brand new or about 60US for a used one on ebay.

I decided with getting an open-boxed belkin tunecast II cuz the price was right. I heard a lot of bad reviews on it, but still tried it out anyway and im quite impressed with the sound. it may be because my car does not have an antenna, but the car itself acts as one so it easily picks up strong signals.

Hi, im looking into buying an FM transmitter to play MDs thru my car cd deck. so far ive only found the belkin tunecast II and from reading online reviews it preforms poorly. are there any good quality ones with decent sound that i should look into? thanks

damn, 75$ for a remote? i got my NH600D unit for 55$ and am using an old remote from my N10. i cant see why any remote wouldnt work with the NH600D, unless it's a remote with the FM feature. it physically cannot fit into the NH600D and all the other models that dont have the radio feature.

Sony Shows HI-MD Portable Recorders At AES 1GB HiMD MiniDisc-based units offer Macintosh and Windows connectivity (October 12, 2005) Sony recently showed two new Hi-MD portable recorders at the AES Convention. The new MZ-M100 and MZ-M10 Hi-MD MiniDisc-based field recorders are designed for musicians and broadcast professionals, and have been designed to provide superb sound recording and playback capabilities combined with extensive storage capacity at a practical price. “These units represent a significant leap in affordable field recording,” said Paul Foschino, senior manager for professional audio in Sony Electronics’ Broadcast and Production Systems Division. “Their ability to record and play back high-quality uncompressed PCM linear audio and transfer those files directly to computers for editing represents a tremendous savings in time. These capabilities, coupled with long battery life and a large, easy-to-read LCD display address the real-world needs of recording engineers and broadcast and print journalists.” The new recorders, with removable 1GB HiMD MiniDiscs, allow up to 94 minutes of uncompressed recording time and as much as 34 hours in ATRAC3 plus format. The low-cost Hi-MD media, which has a suggested list price of $7, gives users an extremely efficient and cost-effective option for data transfer and for archiving their original recordings. i thought they gave up?!

i use the px200 almost everyday. they sound great for all types of music and have good isolation. sennheiser did an awesome job of making such small closed headphones. theyre on the top of my compact headphone list.

of course you can. youll just end up with mediocre recording results.
