Eliazar Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 My Sony MZ-R90 is slowly dying. The remote has long since died and the unit itself is barely hanging in there. I liked(not loved) my baby, but need now to replace/upgrade her. I assumed that the best product would be the Sony MZ-N10, but having read many of the discussions on this Board I am now hedging on what to buy. So here is my original question(to be answered by anybody that has one of the newer models listed or one they find better), should I get the Sony MZ-N1, MZ-N10, or the Sharp DR8. My wants are: 1) Excellent sound quality after recording(I do not do much live recording, just CD to MD), 2) Good to great battery life, 3) Exterior noise made by the unit(my R90 is extremely loud) 4) Would prefer NetMd, but not a deal breaker, especially since I am a Mac user.(Minidisco has a beta or homemade Mac option to try for NetMd, 5) Would prefer USA available model. As I said I really only considered the Sony, but this Board seems to favor the Sharp. Sound quality is very, very, very important. Hopefully not to take to much more of your time I also would like to know which headphones are better, Sony MDR E888 or MDR EX70. Money is not a huge problem as each unit is within my price range. Thanks in advance for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daijoubu Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 What's the point of getting a N10 if you don't do live recording? Get a cheap NetMD recorder (like the Sony NE410/N505/N510) and a nice and slim player 8) Take a look at this thread: http://www.minidisct.com/forum/showthread....?threadid=12582 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 One reason you might lean toward NetMD: There is a freeware Mac OSX program floating around that handles MD titling via USB. Works like a charm. 4) Would prefer NetMd, but not a deal breaker, especially since I am a Mac user.(Minidisco has a beta or homemade Mac option to try for NetMd, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 u must mean the DR7. i think the DR7 or the N910 would be the best option, the N1 isnt bad either. the N1 is avaliable in US but the N910 isnt. the n10 wouldn't be a good choice because of the battery life. its not so bad but compared to the N1 or N910, its only half... most people would recommend the E888s because they produce a more natural sound.
