KJ_Palmer Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 It depends on your budget and whether or not you need extra features (like a radio). It might also relate to your brand preference, if you have one (ie. Sony or Sharp etc.), and if you're interested in the latest Hi-Tech features of the new Hi-MD units, or happy with the standard MD features... Our sponsors have many exciting MD portables for sale, perhaps if you have a look, see what you like and specify your budget we can take this further. Sorry, but there is a bewildering choice out there.... This is a good place to start: http://store.yahoo.com/minidisco-store/portables.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekul5400 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 thanks for your help, id be willing to spend up to about £150, and ive been happy with sony minidiscs but im willing to try others if they are good, also im fine with the standard minidisc features, i dont need radio or anything else, just play and record with good quality sound and other simple features if possible, nothing exceptional needed.

KJ_Palmer Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hmmm, how about the Sharp IM-DR420 (or 410) if you don't need a mic input. Digital amp, clear and fairly powerful sound (for today's minidiscs). I'd also recommend the Sony MZ-NH700 - you get the benefits of Hi-MD (PC storage, longer recording times etc.), but also full compatibility with older MD units. As you seem to be in the UK, why not pop down to your local Dixons/Curries or Richer sounds. Most modern recorders would be good for you...

ekul5400 Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 hmm, thanks for your help, ive been thinking about a net md, are they compatible with the old , standard recorded minidiscs? if so can you recommend any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Kevin's recommendation of the DR420 is a sound one. It is in fact a NetMD model and can be used like a wannabe MP3 player (blargh) but more importantly, it's a good unit. While it is the "budget" model Sharp Auvi, it is much more solidly constructed than the Sony low-end models. The Auvi 1-bit units tend to sound quite warm and nice.
