SileEeles Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hi guys. Just bought this off of eBay. Can anyone give me any more info other than what minidisc.org has, or is that pretty much the whole unit? It says it has hi-md, is it any good, just basic, personal experiences? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjollo Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I have the MZ-NH600 so must be similar to that? is yours an AA battery model. Apart from a crummy little display ( for my eyesight ) and it being plastic my MZ-NH600 makes good sounds I found this from 2005 re the 700 - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Probably the most versatile and reliable (except for the player-only ones) himd unit. Good choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Yes the NH700's a great, reliable workhorse unit (mine's still going strong after 11 years, no problems). The jog dial's much better (less stiff) on the NH700 than the NH600 mentioned above and overall has more of a quality feel than the NH600. Very decent sounding when used with good earphones (I use Sennheisser CX300) and a bit of EQ tweaking. I added an FM/AM radio remote (RM-MC37LT) which effectively turns it into an NHF800. These remotes occasionally pop up on eBay etc, in fact there's one listed tonight. Haven't used it for recording but I believe you can upload your analogue Hi-MD recordings to PC via Sonicstage, Anyway hope you enjoy yours. Let us know if you have any other questions.

SileEeles Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Sorry for late reply, been away. Thanks guys, looking good then, we shall see when the unit comes. Stayed away from hi-md units mostly, since regular minidisc was all I needed, but the price on this was like "meh why not" Will keep you up to date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 What does that mean, "meh why not" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Something like "eh bien, pourquoi pas"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SileEeles Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Recieved the unit today, havn't had much time with it as been out with the girlfriend enjoying the sunshine. *shakes fist* damn you, life! (i joke) So far it seems pretty cool though. i have no Hi-MD discs to test, and I may or may not get any, dont know yet. Are they worth it? Tested it as a data drive and transfered a few things, and that went fine, so i will test some music at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjollo Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I would only bother with himd if I am going away for a few days and use the max compression ( 48kbs? or is it lower?) to gets lots of spoken word comedies onto the disc - I have a few himd discs - 9 i think 2 packs of 3 unused/unopened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 The 1Gig Hi-MD discs may be worth it if you've got anything but a small collection you want to put on. I've filled up 40 so far at LP2 quality, and wouldn't go any lower than 105kbps for music. Then again I'm not sure how much the 1G discs go for these days, it's not worth paying silly money for them. Don't forget you'll get 300MB on an 80 minute standard disc, which is effectively double what you get with non Hi-MD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkrockaddict Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hi-MD is necessary for PCM recording only imo. That is exactly what i use them for. Ok there are some with audiobooks and others with compilations but among all the PCM Discs are 95% Prices are up to 30$ a Disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
