grf Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hi,Just a quick heads up that www.discountdics.co.uk have the MZ-NH600 workhorse available again even though the website says out of stock.Has anyone found a source for the nice flip open jewel cases for MD blanks? I hate the envelope type and change the case on all my new blanks, but I cannot find a good source for the clear or coloured jewel cases.Can anyone help ?Best regardsGRF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great value, sounds good (not quite as good as a more expensive one like an RH1 of course, but still very good), and best of all (for me) runs off a single AA battery, so runs for ages between charges. the machine itself is not chargable - you'll need a separate battery charger, which always suited me - I could listen to it whilst charging other batteries in my charger.One prob with this: the jog wheel is weak as a kitten. It may stop working after a year or so, or depending on usage. This may not be unique to this model though. Still recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Bought a sealed NH600 this December. Warm sound, nice analog amp and great battery life. Strongly recommended to anyone wanting a cheap portable. To avoid jog wheel wear simply connect a remote. The blind RM-MC60 will do.

Find I don't use the job dial a great deal for general listening. Mostly it's track advance or volume. I also find my NZ505 remote works well for the basics.I agree on the sound. It also pairs well with atrac, I'm very impressed with HiSP recordings of analog sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grf Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi,Thanks for all the great replies. I invested in an heir and a spare for my minidiscs from discount discs and their response was excellent, mailling me when the units were in, before they updated the website. I think we are clearly on the last knockings of the minidisc as we know it, which is why being able to buy new units boxed and sealed is so great. May the RH1 live long and prosper but it is not the ideal bench/pocket model workhorse.A little worrying about the jog dial on the NH600 - has anyone else any experience of having one fail ?Happy rotational-removable-high-quality-media-and-audio-listening everyone,Grf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avrin Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Not quite so, since you are still using the player itself after connecting a remote. And the NH600 is not supplied with a remote just to make it cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said in response to the point about the jog wheel having a poor life to use the remote instead. I was basically saying no point in having a jog wheel at all if you're just going to use the remote (ie. like no point in having one MD player just to use another one to save wear and tear on the first without actually using it).Just an analogy.

Sparky191 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Except a remote is cheaper than another MD. Also depending on remote, you get easier navigation, and a backlight. Personally I don't like the MD remotes and prefer using the scroll wheel on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saving wear and tear on the recorder's controls is a nice added bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grf Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hi,www.discountdiscs.co.uk has the Sony MZ-NH600 Hi-MD Walkman in silver at 74.95 GBpounds with free delivery to the UK.I am sure that they would deliver abroad but you would have to ring them on +44 (0)1538 399911 to check.Dicount Discs have given me excellent service now and in the past, and I have not seen a better price for this unit.Still looking for the jewel cases though, if anyone does ring, remind them that there is still a need for such items.Best regardsGrf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
