Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI) - Page 104

I have to admit i dug out my old Sony Discman and it made me sad how much better it sounded the my clip+, E11 combo.  It gave me a sinking feeling that I was going to have a deep pain in my wallet

Where do you find a NOS D25?

You guys are seriously making me GAS for minidisc player. I had one way back in the day but it got stolen and went mp3s since then. I just caught myself browsing ebay for prices, and had to restrain myself.

Nice one ! But does the Tera player really benefit from amping ?

There were a number, well many, of the silver released. They were made after the black. They also tend to skip less, being less sensitive to vibration due to better suspension. The problem is, is that some of the lubricants are drying up and the unit will not work so you have to take it apart and lubricate the correct part, which isn't hard if you know what you are doing. Also there are some capacitors starting to go bad in the units. Yes they are nice and were excellent for their time and for some years after. But then who plays one cd at a time now and how many buy cd's since you can get hi rez downloads that never warp, scratch or get lost. :^)

the 3 hour battery life is the main problem for me:)
