MichaelBeardy Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Hi All,Just thought that those of you in the UK might like to know that Argos are selling off the NH900 for £99. Not quite the killer deal on the 900 that Amazon were doing a couple of months ago, but a good price nonetheless. Just picked up mine today and it's sat on the charging stand right now... I had been thinking of going over to HiMD for a little while now, but not 100% convinced by the NH1 due to the issues of the expensive (and hard to get hold of in UK) Li-Ion battery, that charging stand (pretty tho' it is), and to a lesser extent the Sony-specific USB lead. So the NH900 is an ideal solution for me. It will be driving MDR-EX71s so the volume capping isn't likely to be an issue for me, and if it is, there's always service mode... Heh, heh! Got me a little collection now: a Sharp MD-MT161E (Wow, that thing is BUILT!) which I did some wonderful recordings of streams and waterfalls with - great for meditation/relaxation , a Sony MZ-R410 - which made me realise just how much I prefer MD to my mp3 player, and a lot lighter in my pocket than the ol' Sharp (still think the Sharp sounds marginally better tho'), and now the NH900 - all whistling, all dancing - though I think it's gonna take me a while to get my way around all the available functions.Anyways, back to the instruction manual...Peace,Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, heh! ←As I bought my NH900 a couple of weeks ago for £119 - then saw the Argos price - dare I ask what price Amazon were doing them for . .? As for the NH-1, Amazon currently have them for £109. I bought one, loved it, but was put off by the small screen on the unit that doesn't even show the track title. So I returned it, and bought the 900.But I think I may well re-order the NH-1 as its such a fine machine, screen apart, and I sort of 'miss it' - a 900 and an NH-1 would be a good 'collection'!

The Low Volta Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 As I bought my NH900 a couple of weeks ago for £119 - then saw the Argos price - dare I ask what price Amazon were doing them for . .? Andy hang on to your seat, but they were going at £69 a piece... but just to make you feel better: I got my NH900 (in December) for €250 (about £170) so you have got a bargain my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelBeardy Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Sat up till nearly 2 am listening to the wonderful sound from the new NH900. Amazed by the clarity in Hi-SP mode - and the total absence of backgound noise - I guess that's one of the benefits of the digital amp compared to earlier MD units. Anyway, I'm happy - just a bit tired this morning Peace,Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a truely unbelievable bargain price! I seem to remember seeing that figure on another post, and I certainly wish I had spotted that one on Amazon! Still I'll content myself on getting my 900 at a half way good price compared to yourself Volta!As of last night, Amazon had sold out of NH-1's for £109, but I think I might snap one up if they come back - I hate missing bargains!Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
