Unit has been sold. Thanks for your interest everyone!

Yeah, those PX100's have a really colored sound that would appeal to the masses. I also strongly prefer no-eq so the PX100's are great for groovin' and rockin' out. Pure fun phones, not for serious listening.

x2 I don't particularly like remotes but it seems MD units were designed with them in mind, some of them of course require them to get full functionality. Saving wear and tear on the recorder's controls is a nice added bonus.

Yes, that is correct! He and I have a pretty good unit exchange history. Sale is pending, thanks for looking!

Yes she is, thanks man! I'm only selling because I'm moving to SP only in the Minidisc arena. I need to make space in the stash for some legacy gear!

This unit has been sold. Thanks for looking.

Yeah, $318 isn't bad at all. Still I agree with you, hang on to those RH1's!

Yes, this works. I've done it. I did this at a time when I was using an interface with only 4 line inputs. So to "upload" an 8-track recording I had to record 4 tracks at a time, go back and with the MTC sync in place, record the other 4 tracks. It's been a long time but I'll try to remember how I did it. I think I had the MD8 working as a slave to the MTC signals from Cubase. It was sweet because the MD8 followed Cubase clock perfectly. For instance, when paused, if you click along the track's timeline, the MD8 would instantly "jump" to that same time. I have a ton of things going on at home with a new baby and such, so I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to fire this up again. It was just a matter of setting a couple of options in Cubase and on the MD8. It was very easy and pretty intuitive, I got it working in just 15 minutes of fiddling. Give it a try, it works! I'll update this thread when I get a few spare minutes to do this again. Good luck! Oh, one more thing. Be absolutely sure to flip the write-protect tab on your data disc before playing with this!! If you have the settings a certain way, then hitting [record] in your Cubase transport will cause the MD8 to start recording! Very bad! I narrowly avoided trashing a treasured recording of mine because luckily it had a lot of blank space at the beginning of it. Ok then, good luck.

Anyone got a DH10P they want to unload? I'd really like one of these. I'll even consider units with cosmetic flaws as long as they still work well and include the charging cradle. Thanks!

OMFG 1 + 3 BACKUPS!! You are the man!!

Glad to see T-Boarders still kicking around while the Board is down. I'll be checking back daily.

SOLD! Thanks for looking.

Haha, I know man. It's all good! I'll probably drop the price here soon and if that fails, off to the 'Bay...

*Scoffs* EH70.... HAH! Pish posh... Those things are ugly, go ahead and get one for $170! Nah, just razzin' yah! SBG is right. My price must be too high. I am getting offers but not a lot. Put it this way, the best so far is a scratch & dent silver DH10P for trade, LOL! I'll let this sit around for a while and make some 'market adjustments' if she doesn't move.

*** EH1 IS SOLD! - Thanks *** Just seeing if there's any interest in my MZ-EH1. Condition is very good, almost mint. I say almost because there is very slight wear on the silkscreened graphics on the back, like where it says HD Digital Amp, MDLP, MiniDisc, and especially the 'BATT' graphic. The metal finish itself is perfect all around, not scratched or dented. Of course it works perfectly and sounds fantastic. The full retail package is included with everything in it. Cradle, Li-Ion, charger, RM-MC40ELK, It's a Japanese unit so the manuals are all in Japanese, as is most of the writing on the box. I did change the language to English. In the trio picture, only the EH1 is for sale. I'm looking to get around $(SOLD) US shipped and insured to CONUS, shipping elsewhere might have to add a little bit. I'd prefer trades though. I'd really like a DH10P (Black preferred, silver maybe ok...), Gold NH1, Black NH900, or a Gold E10. I'm open minded to offers so PM me if you have any interest or any other units you'd consider trading. Thanks for looking! PS. I have 100% posi feedback everywhere. Here, T-Board, Head-Fi, eBay, etc...

Agreed! The pro-audio section is pretty much where the RH1/M200 belongs. What does Joe-iTunes need with an RH1? Not much. Unless he joins a band, or starts taking voice lessons, or has children who have band concerts, etc. M200 outta be quite relavent until flash memory prices drop to $7/Gb.

Recorder: Sony MZ-NH1 Record Mode: Hi-SP, Auto Gain, Standard sens. Mic: Sony ECM-DS70P (terribly noisy! sorry about that) Guitar: Takamine EC-123C The piece is my rendition of "Dee" by the late great Randy Rhoades. The performance is pretty rough, I was just practicing and I happened to nail a decent take. You can even hear the motor spin up at the end because I had the mic plugged right into the unit, LOL. Hope you like it! J-Dawg's Guitar Recording Sample I did add a bit of verb and delay in post production. I had planned on running it through a de-noiser and adding a little compression, but the noise floor is so dang high that any dynamics processing just sounded like crap. Anyways, if anyone was ever curious what a DS70P sounds like, I'd say this is a decent representation.

I was the lucky dog who bought mmp64's NH1. He gave me a great price, shipped immediately, and had great communication throughout. Unit was just as described which is to say... perfect! Don't hesitate to deal with mmp64. He's a swell guy to work with.

Awesome advice you guys! Thanks a ton! This isn't for me, and I don't necessarily have any need to plug an SM57 into a minidisc recorder, but you just never know when something like this could come in handy. I will relay these messages.

A guy posted this question on the T-Board and I'd kinda like to know the answer too: Can you run a dynamic mic (say, a Shure SM57) into the RH1's mic input? With the correct adapters of course... A) First and foremost I guess, would the plug-in power coming from the mic jack harm the 57 or interfere with the signal, since dynamic mics obviously don't need or use power. If no harm comes from A, then is the RH1's preamp strong enough to get a usable signal from the 57? Thanks for any advice!

Great stuff, and very relevant on a Minidisc board. Modern equipment is so advanced that anyone can gain great recordings on any budget with just a little bit of know-how.

I think your RH1 kind of enhances the usefulness of the NF810 because the RH1 will upload the 810's recordings. So your 810 can be a workhorse player/recorder for high risk situations. Like say, bootlegging a Lamb of God concert from the floor/general admission area. If you get caught in a mosh, you don't have to worry about your #1 machine getting trampled! And if you survive the night, you still get a digital upload.

TheBlueRaja is an MD labelling maniac. I hope he jumps in here with some of the cool stuff he's done.

PM sent!

Hey guys, I'm a newbie trying this for his first DIY project. I got the parts at the Ratshack and when I got home I realized that my capacitors are the non-polarized variety... Will these work? I read in the thread that the capacitors' job is to block voltage from entering the line-in. Will my non-polarized do this correctly? I'm really scared of frying my MD. Thanks for any advice!
