I'm just wondering if anyone had experience with the original Sony Electronics MDR-CD900 from the late 80's?   I always wanted to know how does the consumer model compare to the Sony Music MDR-CD900ST. Would the original CD900 be closer to the V7?   I had the V7 bought from the late 80s...

I'm trying to figure out how to add folding capability to the MDR-CD900ST by looking at the MDR-7506 service manual here:  ...

Who can translate this Japanese article into English? It is an interview with the developers of the Sony PFR-V1 personal field speakers. Thanks!   http://www.sony.jp/topics/headphone/pfr-v1/index.html   http://www.sony.jp/topics/headphone/pfr-v1/index02.html

I'm currently using a Sony PFR-V1 for about a year now but find that the bass tubes kinda hurt my ear after an hour of listening.   I'm looking for something similar to replace with that is both more comfortable and similar in sound presentation. I have the V1 driven without the included...

After leaving head-fi for a while (a few years actually) I'm beginning to gain interest again after seeing the new Sony MZ-RH1 MD Recorder (rumored to be the last ever?) on Stuff magazine last week and have just ordered one yesterday. I was wondering, what's a good set of earphones nowadays...

I think I've seen it somewhere before but forgot where... anyhow here you go: http://www.jp.sonystyle.com/Avselect...thAnniversary/ http://www.jp.sonystyle.com/Product/...hd1/index.html I think it's 20GB, world's smallest and lightest hard disk based walkman... By the way, Sony has...

I've read somewhere on the Net recently that some new CD decks require the disc to be inserted upside down in order to stablize the spinning... Just wondering if anybody else heard of this, and would this improve things if I put my Discman upside down? hehe

I've recently borrowed a Chinese cd boxset from a friend and the cds are encoded in this so-called DSD technology (Direct Stream Digital) which sounds absolutely amazing compare to some older cds I have containing some of the same songs... I was just wondering if anyone also have some DSD...

Check this out it looks pretty neat... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=3272 I think it's a PCDP wannabie... nice vintage Sony, minimalist design...

My mother just came back from HK and bought me a pair of 888LP in gold color (told her to buy MP argh anywayz)... The funny thing is the thing is not made in Japan, but Phillipines??? I think it's fake but if it is then it's kinda overboard... even the speaker drivers look the same but in a...

Anybody have the dough to buy this? http://www.audiocubes.com/product_in...roducts_id=622 I want some reviews!!! lol! The specs are very nice! Gotta save up!

The left side of my 484 is losing volume for some reason... anything I can do to fix it? would a big ass magnet help? lol I'm so desprete for a solution.... thanks

I just got a Harman Kardon HK400XM deck from eBay but the previous owner had all these weird adjustments (even the playback motor had the wrong speed) with all the pots inside the deck that it took me 2 days to properly tune it for my Sony Super Metal Master tapes (wow these need so much bias...

Okay I got this problem... whenever I try erasing my cassettes and then re-record them, I can hear residues of the previous recording at very high frequencies (like faint at the background)... I tried erasing the tape by boosting the fine bias to max or min and still the same... I'm really...

Okay I just bought a used Harmon Kardon CD291 deck that has a fine bias knob on it... what's the best way to adjust this? The user's manual mentions nothing about adjusting this other than the fact that going negative makes recordings duller and going positive makes recordings brighter... I'm...

If anyone can gimme a run down of its specs it'll be appreciated! Thanks! (Acutally I was wondering especially how small the gap is for this head, and what type of head is this)...

Okay I guess I'm the resident old school... I've been trying to dig up old threads on Google to look up my old '82 Yamaha 2 head tape deck again out of curiousity after I've noticed that the tape head is named GF-20... so I've kinda find out that GF stands for Glass Ferrite... but there are...

Okay I found this on the Chinese forum, picture of tons of earphones... http://www.headphoneclub.com/bbs/sho...5&pagenumber=3 Wow this is mad! And at the center of the pic is the Sony 484 special edition in gun-metal grey color... comes with a bag too! Beside it on the left is the 282 which...

Just wondering... I read all the great stuff about it, but yet I don't see its materials being featured, like what kind of cord or diaphragm it uses... I'm just wondering... I mean, the price is so high...

Okay I'm ever more serious this time... I've finally found something better overall than the Sony E484 and Aiwa D9 in open-air design form (i.e. not canalphones like the Ety's and Shure's)... The Aiwa D9 is a different beast and can't be compared to the 484 readily... I've got my two...
