musicman Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I am recently using a MZ-NH900 and I am planning to get another 1st Gen Hi-MD, please give me an advice, should I buy another MZ-NH900 or MZ-NH1?? I can get for the same amount of price $ 350 Cdn. Please help me to take a decision ASAP because Sony Canada have a NH900 on sale for $299 plus taxes. Thanks for looking and your help.

musicman Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Thanks for the fast reply Volta, I don;t like the 2nd Gen Hi-MD, I used to have a MZ-DH10P but I don;t like the sound quality on MP3 files and also has no line out and line in and Mic. I prefer the 1st Gen Hi-MD for the spare, I am gonna check the links you gave me right after this. Thanks again.

musicman Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Yes I have some money from DH10P I sold on ebay hahahaha, not bad eh, so I have to call Sony Store ASAP then, just in case if someone will buy it before me. Thanks again for your opinion.

dex Otaku Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 If you need a spare or backup unit, I'd recommend the NH700. It's less expensive, has all the same recording features, and the only playback feature it lacks is the virtual acoustics thing which is useless anyway.Other than all-metal [NH1] or part-metal [NH900] case, and digital amp, and the NH1's time/date-stamping feature, there's not much real difference between these units.I've had my NH700 since the week they came out in Canada, and it has seen .. well, it's been dropped a few times, &c. I have had no problems with it despite this. The build quality is excellent despite being all plastic. It also uses totally standard AA batteries that you can find anywhere for cheap [one of the main reasons I bought it in the first place].I see that Minidisc Canada no longer lists it as available, but there are retailers out there still selling this model. Note that in the US, the NHF-800 is the nearest equivalent [the only difference being the 800's radio tuner remote].If you're really bent on the choice between the NH1 and NH900, I'd go with the NH900 for one reason and one reason only: the ability to use standard AA batteries as well as its rechargables.

musicman Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Thanks again for your opinion I already search all older units of Hi-MD, not easy to find though, I can find only NH900 at Sony Store here in Toronto but not at all locations.

musicman Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Too bad I just called Sony Store they said that the sale is over and now the price for MZ-NH900 is $460 Cdn including taxes, I think I better bought a NH1 from Ebay then. My bad luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
