MZ-NH1 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Shivers, nice goign mate! Good pics there.You should have used a brick for the size comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekdroid Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 nice shots I remember this model well because I was heavily into MD (and Philips DCC - Digital Compact Cassette) at the time. The general consensus was that they released this model before they wanted to, to take some shine off DCC's release (which was out and selling a bit earlier, as I recall). Anyway, the second MD unit they released was MUCH smaller than this one.Philips DCC was also praised in the hi-fi press for sounding better. But there's no denying the advantages of a disc. Speaking of discs, those grey, non-translucent discs are the best (and I think I still have one lying around here). I still prefer opaque discs above all others (no light getting through).Nice stuff. Brought back some memories when all this lossy audio stuff for the consumer market was new (which I really grew out of quickly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

culp4684 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Is that a backlit display on the unit? And a digital out? Why did they delete features like these?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyc Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 great pictorial! I, like Tek, remember this from the MD vs DCC (lol) times.. it was on the cover of What Hifi, half wrapped in paper. The headline was "Minidisc is here, and we've tested it!"

raintheory Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 For those interested, here is a comparison photo of my MZ-1 -vs- MZ-RH10 (I couldn't find a brick for comparison ). [attachmentid=1082] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpeter Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 My MZ-1 rarely comes out of the cupboard these days, but my DCC recorder is still in the hifi rack in the lounge! But there's a JE520 above it. At one time you could get portable DCC machines but I never saw one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynos Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 March 1993 Wow 1993! I can't believe that my R700 is still new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's a JE520 above it. At one time you could get portable DCC machines but I never saw one.Yes, the portables were made by Matsushita (Panasonic), just as Matsushita made the Philips and Marantz tape transports on their (early) DCC decks (Seagate made the thin-film heads). You might recall Technics (another Matsushita brand) released their own DCC decks and were a visible supporter of Philips' format. Their portables were quite bulky even for back then, but were built like TANKS. Really good build quality. Was *that* close to buying one new when they were out in the stores here. Probably a good thing I didn't tho. I owned both early DCC and MD, so that woulda been a bit too much. Hah. Saw one on ebay selling in Australia for around 40 bucks a while back but decided tape just wasn't for me, let alone lossy compression of DCC Wanted one to admire the build quality and to satisfy my curiosity, mostly, hah...and to use as a really robust tape deck that I could give hell to in case I ever needed it - but I really don't use tape at all and haven't for years, but I love deluding myself that I would when it comes to quality Matsushita hardware Edited November 12, 2005 by tekdroid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysnap Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 For those interested, here is a comparison photo of my MZ-1 -vs- MZ-RH10 (I couldn't find a brick for comparison ). Wow, very interesting to see 'the first' . . .and to think that the evolution of the technology ended (before moving on to HiMD) with the ultra slim E10!Andrew(my first MD was MZN-710, now NH-1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildfire_101 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Wow it is fun to see how far such a great format has come. Thank you for taking the time to post this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
