Swordsage Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 So I finally got the extra cash I had coming to me for some time now, and decided that it was time to upgrade my md portables. I already own two MZ-NH1's (one that still records, the other only plays and I don't trust my skills with a soldering iron) and an MZ-NF610, but I've always wanted to get a MZ-RH1 ever since I first heard about them, and I finally had my chance. However, while ordering this (in the MZ-M200 version... those tend to be cheaper than the stand alone RH1's for some strange reason), I also noticed some fantastic deals on Ebay for some other units. So I ended up getting: - 1 MZ-RH1 (MZ-M200) - 1 MZ-NH1 (I was giving my older working unit to a friend who needed it for recording purposes, but I knew I'd missing owning one that still recorded - 1 MZ-NH3D (It was going for $250!!) ... so yeah, I think i'm set on HiMD units for now. Though my wife is going to roll her eyes when they show up at the door (still, the NH3D might change her toon, considering how gorgeous it looks). So, did I go a bit off the deep end, or what?

Azureal Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 So, did I go a bit off the deep end, or what? That's awesome! My wife would do the same, they just don't seem to understand. You scored big time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoPimpKiller Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I don't even tell my fiance anymore when I buy another MD unit or more MD's cause I just know she won't understand at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordsage Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I don't even tell my fiance anymore when I buy another MD unit or more MD's cause I just know she won't understand at all. Heh... I have to tell my wife, otherwise she's just going to keep asking me where I got the new toys from. At least she doesn't nag me about it, and actually likes the tech overall. There are some more things I wanted to add to my gear. I still have yet to own a deck (and not sure which one I should nab), and of course I need to add more blanks to my already growing collection. One thing I wanted ask though... is there any kind of alternative to the AC-ES608K ac adapter for the NH1? the one for the unit I plan on giving to my friend is broken, and I need to replace it. However, next to no one is selling one used, and Sony is asking a ridiculous amount for a new one. I tried using a standard universal ac adapter, but that just ended up melting. So is there any kind of alternative, or do I pretty much have to keep hunting for a reasonably priced AC-ES608K? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azureal Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 The 6v adapter for just about any unit will work with just about any other unit. I use all of my 6v adapters pretty much interchangeably. The 3v adapters obviously have a larger connector so you can't accidentally use the 6v in a 3v device. Some of them may vary in current capability which will only affect the speed to obtain a full charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them may vary in current capability which will only affect the speed to obtain a full charge. I know the adapters are interchangeable, and when my new nh1 and nh3d get here, I'll use one of those as the "universal one" for all the other units. I just wish I had one now for my current units that use it. On a happier note, the RH1 finally showed up yesterday, and so far I'm loving it. It doesn't just look good, it sounds good. And even though I know some people don't like the mike that comes with the m200 version, so far it's doing right by me. I did some test recordings with it, and it's so far, so good. And it turned some heads at work as well. It's times like these when I remember just how cool the minidisc really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Congrats on the new Hi-MD units. It's always useful to have a spare (or three) for backups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecrab Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 So, did I go a bit off the deep end, or what? There's a deep end? News to me! ;-) Smaller stuff I just bluster my way through when it comes to the spousal unit. For larger items...those I have shipped to me at work. Then I take them home and sneak them in through the basement, to eventually go wherever they are going. Since they all look alike (black or silver boxes) to my wife, unless I say something, she never notices the difference, as long as I'm just replacing something. And since I have no space left to do anything else, this trick always works! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsla Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Congrats on the new Hi-MD units. It's always useful to have a spare (or three) for backups. I concur, one can't have too many. I've got three RH1 or M200 units (I'll gladly give away that little mike that came with the 200) and multiple units of two other models plus singles of several models. And always looking for more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordsage Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 (I'll gladly give away that little mike that came with the 200). -ja I guess I should ask: what would be a good mike to use with the RH1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
