doomlordis Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Spent the whole morning comparing the RH1 (friends) to my RH10 - Result , i want a RH1 now!I compared Atrac3+ 256 and MP3 (equalized on the RH10) and i thought the RH1 sounded MUCH better, clearer , crisper sound with much more precise bass, the HD amp makes a BIG difference imo.Mp3 playback is fantastic , beter than my ipod by a long way.The only cons i found were that i dont like the volume buttons much and the lack of track/artist info on the unit. The pros are lithium battery that properly recharges , better sound , smaller form factor , better battery door , legacy uploads.I am now in the market for an RH1 (and a mc40elk)!

Welcome to the darkside... does the RH1 really have an HD amp? on the back of my RH1 there is no logo of it having an HD amp. on my NH900 it has the HD amp logo on the back of the unit.

Sparda Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 The RH1 has the Digital HD Amp for sure, even though its not on the back of the unit. I wish they still do that, i thought that it looked so cool for the n10. damn i still want the n10 for some reason, it just looks so nice.

Voidikus Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I'm looking at buying one of these as my current (rather old) MD recorder is close to dying... does the RH1 have a customisable equaliser or bass boost?

(I'm looking to buy in the UK)Yes, there are two customisable 6-band equalisers, along with 4 presets and other options.

It is that appealing and I have no regret of buying this recorder. I know is not perfect but what is. Regardless of what Sony do there will always be a critics that thinks their idea is lot better. Buy it and it should be the last md recorder you will ever need, unless Sony comes with a deck that offers what RH1 has. IMHO, the RH1's design is almost perfect. I know this might sound bias because I have one. But I had a chance to play with MZ-M10 but I was not completely satisfied and I'm glad that I took it back. And fortunately by the time I did return the M10, RH1 was later introduced. The first thing that caught my attention was the uploading capability of the legacy md which MZ-M10 and other previous minidisc never offer. The sound also great and the mechanism of the RH1 is less noisier,..So just buy one and start playing with it. You'll be glad you bought it...good luck!!!

I bought the MZ-RH10 last year, but it only had presets which had no bass on any of them, so I took it back Looks like I'll be buying an RH1 when my local Sony shop has the back in stock...

It actually works. I never really care for eq but at least is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand what you mean by "had no bass on any of them". Did you try the two customisable settings? I'm able to get a wide range of sounds by using these to suit individual ear/head phones, and I'm definitely able to increase the dominance of the lower ranges.

Sparda Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) just wanted to share a little, but it takes forever, i mean like forever to get that perfect equalizer setting, when you thought you got it, you just came up with another setting.oh anyways go for it! you won't regret it, although the new Sony flash players are quite appealing...

But that can easily be changed by selecting the appropriate setting in the Service Mode menu. So you where rash returning your RH10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
