    D-321 vs D-777 and D-465 PCDP's

    I actually have a D-777 that I'm still thinking of putting up on ebay sometime soon to finance a new Hi-MD MZ-RH910. It's in excellent condition with only some light scuffing if you hold it up to the light. It's also one of the earlier versions using DBB instead of Megabass. If you'd like, I can...

    Grado... Not all I expected.

    So I finally found a Grado dealer in Vancouver and went to check out the headphones. I was using my minidisc and D-777 Discman as the sources. My regular headphones are Sony Ex-70's canal phones for the last three years, and I have a set of Logitech Z-5300 THX speakers on my computer. Trying...

    Best Sub-$200 Dorm Set-Up

    You should take a look at the logitech THX series of speakers. I got the Z-5300 THX speakers when I was in 2nd year at residence. They're great, and they cost me about $200 CAD shipped, so I didn't even have to walk 1km to pick them up (it was a large box). The satellites are pretty small, and...

    Speakers For University - Any Suggestions?

    If you are going to live in a large residence, you'd be surprised how much time you can spend in your room. Especially when your floormates are stopping by to visit or watch movies. I got a Logitech Z-5300 THX system for my dorm room, which cost me about $200 CAD shipped (or around 100 GBP)...

    SHARE YOUR ZEN MICRO PICTURES!

    I'm looking at buying a micro, black or silver look nice, but I've been finding a lot of stuff on forums talking about reliability issues. What are your guy's experiences with your micros? Headphone jack and battery drain seem to be the biggest complaints, as well as some HDD problems here and...

    Pictures of your Portable Rig II - The Journey Continues.

    Honestly, I can't really tell the difference between the EX70's and the EX71's, though, I prefer a single mid length cord rather than that extended cord which is a little ungainly to me, but I'd be happy with a 20ft cord if I could have a pair of RS-1's like Elephas... I'm also thinking of...

    Pictures of your Portable Rig II - The Journey Continues.

    Never posted before, but I've been reading the forums for a while. I've got an old Sony MZ-n707 MD and an even older Sony D-777 DBB Discman, I've been using them with Ex-70's mostly. Back when I had Grado SR80's I used the discman a lot more, because it sounded a lot better than the MD. So, as...

    PCDP with line-out/optical-out

    If you can find them, the Sony D-777 or E-905 are awsome vintage PCDP. I have a D-777 and they sound great with earbuds, plus they have 15mw drivers on the headphone amp and an automatic distortion equalizer. It has a pretty decent line-out as well from what I've read, but never really used it...
