Wrong decision?

[arias]

Hi guys,

I just got a MZ N10 yesterday a little over 500 bucks (including tax) in Canadian dollars. I'm not very in tune with the current news, and just found this MD site, and I noticed that there was a Hi-MD format coming out.

Did I make the wrong choice buying this older MD model? Plus, does the Hi-MD model have the ability to record into MDs that can be used by older MD models? o_o.. I'm worried I just busted 500 bucks I saved for a year for nothing..

I don't think you made the wrong decision, as you've not even experienced the N10. I would definitely recommend you at least try it for a week or two before changing your mind to Hi-MD. I think that you'll have success with the N10's functionality..

Nonetheless, you can record onto old MD's with a Hi-MD unit in "NetMD" mode, and those discs are playable on non Hi-MD units.

Hm. Just in NetMD mode? I always record in realtime with the optical cable--are you saying the Hi-MDs won't record normal SP/LP2 that way?

Disturbing if true... :whatever:

Thank you for your kind response..

I figure I'd still try and get a refund for my current purchase anyway. I owned another MD about two years ago; which was one of the first advanced NetMD models. Bought it in Singapore for about S$499 (or US$300). Wonderful MD, loved it, but it got stolen.. So this N10 is my second MD, but looking at how Hi-MDs are backward compatible and my current N10 costs $500 Canadian, I think I'd prefer to wait for a Hi-MD model.

I think I'll try and get a refund on Monday, and if not.. well, I can live with that. :smile: The N10 is beautiful :grin:
