JWCompany Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hello,way back in the past I used to own a Sharp MD-MT88H, however I bought it from ebay and I had a lot of hazzle with warranty repairs, ending up paying for transport because it "wasn't broken" (quite clearly it was, as to this day I still just get the "can't read"...). Anyway, that taught me a lesson, never to buy an expensive product from ebay, or used, or from a different country than where I live (England and Germany, as it were).I started looking for mp3-players, but then I remembered the good old MD days and I lost my heart again to this. Though I would surely love the Sony RH10, I won't be able to efford this. And actually, not too long ago, I used to be fine with "just" LP2.That's why I want to ask this question: If I don't want to spend more than €120 (£85), which would be the best MD recorder with mic-in? It doesn't have to be netMD, although it might be nice, probably.Thanks a lot, please welcome me back on the "good side" soon,Johannes.

greenmachine Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 With a little bit of luck you can get a used NH700 via ebay. It's real HiMD with all its benefits. Has mic-in with low and high sensitivity settings as well as line-in. Recording quality is virtually as good as the quality of the incoming signal.

JWCompany Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Thank you for your quick replies. I'm afraid, though I should've thought of Argos myself, that won't really be an option, as I won't be in England any time soon and Argos doesn't offer delivery outside Great Britain. As for Ebay, maybe things have changed, maybe it's not that bad anymore or I may have been incredibly stupid to buy from whottalottacrap64 (or whatever his name was), but I would prefer to skip ebay...How about Sharps? I know, I'm probably talking about the older models for that price, but some of the top-range models from back then must have dropped in price...Johannes.

JWCompany Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Right now (and for quite some time coming) I am in Germany. Hi-MD is lovely, and after thinking hard I reckon that I don't really need to have my mp3s played back as mp3s, so it wouldn't have to be a 2nd Gen. one (not to mention the frequenzy cut bit, rrr). But the prices! But the temptation! (I know, most of you have lived through the same) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
