SoftMusicToMyEars Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Actually, what I dislike of all Hi-MD is the fact that there is a single button for play, back, forward, volume up and down. It's doomed to break, it seems. I'm not sure what you mean about the stiffness of the rotary dial of the NH700? A reason I wasn't going for the NH900 is it's looks here. Just check on sonystyle Canada, and you'll understand what I mean. It's bicolor here too, but with gold (or is that platinum). Also, the problem I have with both NH900 and NH1 is the battery. With the NH900 I have to carry the external case, with NH1 I don't even have the choice. Since I record lectures, I need a lot of power, and always available. Failure of power isn't a perspertive I like to imagine. So the possibility to use AA and NH700 and 800 is interesting, and since the 800 just has a radio more and a digital remote (which it's weird, but I don't care that about since I'm used to looking to my MZ-N707 for information, it's dial wasn't digital eitheir). I have to leave now, I'm goind to buy a K23 VAIO notebook for the beginning of my Pharmacy studies. It's not the most expensive (well, it's actually the least...), but the screen is nice and big, and the keyboard confortable. That's going to make a big hole in my Hi-MD budget... Guess I'll wait a little. The NH1 isn't out here anyway, for another week. Argggh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhangraman Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 ....what are the chances?!? I'm having serious soundcard grief since Thursday. That the Emu turned out to be faulty didn't help. Hopefully I will be able to get one of my cards working in my PC today. I HATE COMPUTERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breepee Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 I currently have a Sharp MD-MT190. Will a 900 sound better or worse or equal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 It will probably sound a bit less full than the unit you're currently employing. I base this statement on the mW; yours has 10, NH900 has 5. The HD digital amp might add some additional clarity to the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ummagumma Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 if skyther is still around, what would you suggest for pcm or lossless recording in a portable unit? you seem to know your stuff...I'm not interested in mp3's etc, more like "accurate & best quality recording I can get" been digging through the forums, but there is so much mp3/headphone focus it's too time consuming thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 All the recording Hi-MD's do PCM recording, but only 90 minutes fits on a 1G MD. You might also want to look at the Edirol (www.soundprofessionals.com has it) if you have the bucks, but it records on seriously more expensive compact flash cards, and I don't think it has the track-mark feature of MDs. http://www.edirol.com/products/info/r1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummagumma Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 thx! -->funny, I was wondering about that today: I just bought a 1 gig ram card for my camera & was thinking " now why doesn't someone make a recorder that works with these??? " no moving parts etc. 90 mins is fine by me, can always swap discs out....however, I hear the Sony's don't remember the record settings & you have to manually reset everything each time?

dex Otaku Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 They don't remember the manual record level setting between record/stop cycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markr041 Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 It remembers the level - e.g., 18/30 - it just does not remember that it was set to manual. That is, when you do go back to manual after a full stop, the last setting of the level is still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
