bdawg Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Hi I just saw a 700 model here is Canada for 260 bucks or about 210 bucks american. is that worth it for the features, especially live recording? secondly, i read on minidisc.org that the 700 doesn't have a digital amp. i thought it did. If it doesn't what are its disadvantages and advantages ? especially when it comes to live recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorlyconditioned Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 $260CAD sounds great. Where did you see it? I like it for recording. It has mic and line input just like all the other models. It also takes standard AA batteries, which I prefer. Go for it... Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 The digital amp, or lack of one in the NH700's case, doesn't affect recording at all, only the sound on playback through the headphones. I've heard the NH700, and own a NH600 (also no digital amp), and it sounds fine like that (IMO). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdawg Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 thanks a lot. It really makes no difference in listening. I am not an audio engineer, so I can't really tell the difference. I found the deal here http://www.minidisc-canada.com/shopexd.asp?id=368 sorry about plugging another website. It's just Canadians have limited shopping options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafplayer Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 minidisc-canada.com looks like a good store i think i will buy my HI-MD from them (it is hard to find online canadian retailers.... and real-world stores just suck (i think its like that everywhere though)) the two reasons I want to save up and get the 900 are: size (its 1/3 thinner... and the 700/800 is THICK) and the line-out i figure the line-out will be useful if i want to transfer audio when there is no computer available.... does anyone know what kind of a difference would it make to sound quality, compared to a headphone-out?

dex Otaku Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 I bought my 700 from them [pre-ordered it before it was released actually] and their service was excellent. They're good people to deal with, and I haven't been able to find better prices anywhere in Canada than they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
