among the legary sony I own, I like D-J50 and D-777 more. Simply because they are so beautifully built. You might have better sound from D-Z555 and/or D-303. Purk, yes, I own them all.

discman worth hearing. part 1. D-100, D-J50 (the thinnest discman, except D-EJ2000, excellent built quality!) D-303, D-515. part 2 will include: D-Z555, D-311, D-777, D-EJ01

too loud a volume can easily damage your earphone, especially the modern ones.

inside the battery compartment there is a little slider, which when moved flips out a spring connector for fitting two AA batteries into where the BP2EX battery normally sits. Again, this is the only player than I have seen such a function on, and even now in todays modern era, I do think that...

is that a D-100 you have got?

would be interested to duncan's view on d-j50 viz d-515 and d-311.

where is it being auctioned? willing to share the info?

I sometimes wonder is the difference real between these models, or is it just sample varience?

Yes, sometimes it is difficult to balance "details" and "warmth". To draw a comparison, D777 is a warmer machine than D-EJ01, and D-EJ01 on the other hand has more "details" to offer. It is really difficult to say which one is better, it all depends on the music you listen.

D303 is listed as a "special purpose" discman, I think it is the optical out thing. You will also notice whilst headphone out is steel, lineout is gold plated. perhaps D303 is meant to be a output specialist? D303(1990) DJ50(1991) D311(exact date not known to me, anyone knows?)...

will you sell one, either working or not?

anyone have tried D321,which is a lower model than D311 and D515, but looks equally sexy.

Just dig out a Sony 1993 catalogue. It shows D321 (32,800 yen), D311(37,800 yen), D303 (also 37,800 yen) and D515 (54,800 yen!). So the top model appears to be D515! I think all the talk of 303 vs 311 is not complete until due comparison with D515 is made. The Sony online time capsule on discman...

nice earphone, which model is it? The correct color of D-E900 should be blue marble. Quote: Originally posted by Tina woodgrain?????????? lol D-EJ915, you don't know what you're talking about just based on pics. in real life, the d-e900/905 is one of the most beautiful...

do you have picture of D-626? what is so good about it? and why D-151? it is a low end model. after the smooth fiberglass of D777, I now long to touch the cold steel of D-J50. D-515 has some sort of plastic coated steel? I dont know, it has the D777 shiny grey but with more substance.

can you be more specfic?

Duncan, how soon is your J50 comparasion review going to be out? We can not wait anymore.

amongst the three, I believe D-515 should have the best sound. It is usually the case, the earlier you go back, the fuller and lounder the sound.
