For a while this thread was beginning to look like a thread on HeadWize in which the user "mariowar" wanted big, boomy, incredible bass!
Sorry, Paradigm, but it sounds like you may be a "duh-m-bass"!
But congratulations on your purchase of the "classic" Sony MDR-V6's. Hope the cans arrive soon.
Duncan: Sure, those older players do sound better than most of the new players, but Gluegun has it right on the money as far as the correlation between added features, higher cost and degraded sound quality. And though none of the current Sony CD Walkman players sound as good as some of the older Sony Discman players, my vote for the best model of the current Sony line is the middle-of-the-line D-EJ721 - the cheapest model that has an optical digital output. I did try a D-EJ621 (with no digital output), but found bugs in its headphone amp (it often cuts off the first beat of many tracks on many CDs).
And anything higher than D-EJ725 (basically a 721 with a non-LCD remote) will be pretty crappy for the price that you pay for it.
