Nate A Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) it may be a moot point cause someone left a complete NH1 on ebay with a good BiN so unless the seller is thief, I'll have one in a few days.I've been using an NHF 800 in my shirt pocket in a metal shop. then I got a NOS N1 about 2 weeks ago for work cause I wanted to loose the AA battery lump.....sooo heh, seeing as how dusty ( and were talking electrically conductive brass dust, magnetic steel dust, god knows what all other dust) a metal shop is..would you guys concider bringing an NH1 to this enviorment every day ?my NHF has had a disk error twice so far and after blowing the inside out with compressed air it was fine again. I thought I could see steel dust on the spindle so I'm guessing that's magnetic ?I'm also looking for a RH1 vs NH1 comparrison cause although I like my RH1,I agree with Blueraja in that, the controlls are not that great in terms of ergonomics. it's easy to shift the play button up or down when depressing it,also the eject being right across from play isn't too great. so I may just sell the RH1...it looks really cool but the NH1 'aint no red headed stepchild !just a few months ago I had no minidiscs, players or anything...now I have an RH1, N1, NHF 800, NH1, and I gave an MDLP unit to my GF too. gone through some Koss Plugs, some JVC budds and I'm currently running UE Super Fi 3 and 5's...oh and I got an amp in an altoid box dang...I need to evaluate my pile and unload some of it. I want an E10 Edited October 19, 2007 by Nate A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as a durable player goes, I've heard the NH1 is a very tough player. But I think it is TOO nice of a player to expose to anything questionable. I would suggest an NH900. That's a HiMD WAR UNIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadcow Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Hi, the NH1 is a tough son of a b****. The magnesium case is very sturdy and it really feels strong. I've used mine 2-3h a day for 3 years and it works like a charm. It's the strongest walkman I ever had (and that includes several CD, tape, MD and MP3 players).As theblueraja said you have to be careful not to open the player in a dusty environment. You should also consider a case. I bought off ebay a neoprene soft case wich protects very well and would prevent most dust from getting in the walkman.

Nate A Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 thanks...I'll look into an NH900. the NH1 showed up. looks and sounds great. spent one day with it in my pocket playing near 6 hrs worth. shure seems well made. I may just sell my RH1 and buy another NH1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 My NH1 is still going strong after two years. I listen to it probably 2 or 3 days a week and the casing has proved tougher than I thought it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate A Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 keep an RH1 for USB 2.0 upload, & legacy upload.NH1 won't upload standard or MDLP recordings ? I need to read more of the manual... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 NH1 won't upload standard or MDLP recordings ? I need to read more of the manual...Only the RH1 or M200 (same unit) uploads SP, LP2 or LP4 recordings. All other Hi-MDs only upload PCM, Hi-SP or Hi-LP.

Nate A Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Only the RH1 or M200 (same unit) uploads SP, LP2 or LP4 recordings. All other Hi-MDs only upload PCM, Hi-SP or Hi-LP.I agree the RH1 is real neat looking...love the display.my use of minidisc (any of them) so far is to record (analogue) music I've found on the web and some on CD so I can go mobile with it.I don't see using it as a recorder at a live show of any kind. maybe someday I'll want to upload...but by then I'll have a new computer and probably other methods of file swaping. but the point is, for me a minidisc is the end destination of the music. I don't know anyone to trade discs with and I haven't recorded off anyones IPod and wanted to upload to my comp.so, uploading old files isn't an issue. I can see it'd be very useful to a vetran MD user though. I mean, right now, I have about 7-8 discs I've recorded and honestly, I'm still just learning how to record so it sounds best vs the record settings. I may wipe all my recordings and do them over once I find a method I like best. anyway, the RH1's controlls arn't as good in my pocket as the NH1 or other units I have. plus aside from the display I just like the NH1's feel in my hand. I'm on the fence right now but I may decide the M200 I have is for trade value twards another back up NH1. or maybe a NH3D or EH1 or E10.
