D-EJ626CK

The Sony D-EJ626CK is a Sony PCDP that was released in 2000.

Most controls are on the top:arranged in a half-circle style, along with a nice blue backlit display that's missing from my other models.

The stop button is dual-function:stop and battery...

Well, this is something different.
My boyfriend is practically addicted to this place, so I thought I would check it out.
It seems like a chill place, but I don't know anything about all that headphone stuff, except for what he tells me. =]
We're gonna go to that thing on the 18th in LA and Can Jam.
It'll be fun, plus we went to that DXC store and I got to try out all kinds of crazy, ugly, mind blowing headphones.
=]

P.S....

Bad music

Posted 09-28-2008 at 06:03 AM by LFF

In my ever expanding quest to hear more music I have resorted to many options to expand my aural pleasures and dislikes.

What a surprise it was to come across an old vinyl record that specifically presents bad music.

Sony D-EJ011: A in-depth review by A.A. Fussy

This will be a multi-part review-so photos will be in the final part

Part 1-Introducing the D-EJ011
There have been a lot of CD Walkman and before that the Sony Discman models released from 1984 until late 2006 but today there are no newer models.

All in the family

The D-EJ011 is such a example-being notable for being a part of the last new series of basic PCDP's by Sony....

Long awaited SR71A has arrived

ESW10JPN announced !

Posted 09-22-2008 at 02:40 PM by Sasaki

Yes, it comes finally.

I made a post on the forum as well, have a look to see news release.
http://www.head-fi.org/forums/4763427-post28.html

I reserved one for mine impulsively

Seems like the urushi(lacquer) paint and new driver is the major improvement from ESW9. I think this is the first JAPAN model for portables. The urushi-lacquer painted craft is an old traditional of Japan, hence the name comes from.

DENON D7000 was aimed to release around this weekend, but the release was slipped into the mid of October.
Reason is some manufacturing problem.
