Sony_Fan Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I think it's this one: Wow this unit sounds so much better then any sony unit i own what a shock...... Anyone else own one. Oh yea if anyone has the remote for it or a link to one please pm me thank you. It is a great sounding unit, even though I owned the MD-MS722 model. These units have ATRAC 24-bit encoding and Digital X-Bass! I think it's much better than Sony's MegaBass or bass output of Hi-MD models.

Tom in RI Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have an IM-DR420H(S) which I have always enjoyed the sound of. I don't know if I'd characterize the sound as better than Sony but I definitely enjoy it for being different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I always found the Sharps a little bit too bassy, even the 4 pole models, but that's a matter of taste of course. The Name Stamp function and the simpler less menu-driven operation (compared to Sony's), is why I've held on to a couple of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another MD fanatic Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have the 701 model (amongst others) and I also find Sharp models generally to be more convenient to use, due to bass boost and stereo/mono select being controlled by buttons on the front rather than buried in menus. Regarding frequency response last year I did some accurate comparisons. With bass boost turned off all my Sharp MD's gave a more or less flat response, my Sony one's did not. The Sony models all had a small amount of bass boost present even with the function turned off. My Panasonic MR220 also gave a flat response as did my JE480 deck (which you would expect). Whether or not this applies across the range I don't know as I only have about a dozen or so to compare. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim.hoggarth Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Any one know if the record light lights up when recording?? I am pretty sure it's not a light - just a red button that looks like a 5mm red LED. EDIT: Yes, that's correct. I just rembered where I had one and took the display board apart to check. Just a button. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
