joplin Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Hi I've find there was a quite a difference in the volume of Sony MD units vs Sharp MD units. With the new generation of Sony units(MZ-NH1) will I encounter a louder sound. What I mean is that will the Sony be louder at the same volume as other players or will you still have to put the volume almost to max. to get equal volume? Does the new digital amp in the Sony Hi/MD units play any part in the loudness of the players? It's not that i go around listening to my music at high volumes. For example on my Sharp MD-Ms-702 I would be at half the volume and that was more than loud enough This is very important for me to know. Thanks., Greg joplin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stamp Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 i play mine mostly at 17-20/30, and i have those lil sony earbud/earphone hybrid thingies (like $40 cdn) its all about how deaf you are (how loud your surroundings is, and how soundproof your earphones are, etc), really.

joplin Posted July 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 After I originally posted this I realize from the one response I received I need to make a few things clearer. First,I'm not deaf I have excellent hearing. Second. I would like this question answered from a technical perspective. Last but not least,The statement I made about difference in volume was noticed in a quiet envirement. Thanks Greg Joplin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 The digital amp will not play any part in loudness, but the enhanced clarity of the HD digital amp may make things seemingly more distinct and louder [detail wise] to you. Your MS702 may actually have a better overall sound since it has a 10mW output, but the enhanced ATRAC3plus playback of the NH1 will probably triumph in the end. I think you'll be content, Greg.
