Thanks Duncan ! It's very frustrating to tell on the web that this PDCP has an amazing soundstage, because noone here seems to have it, so no other way to describe the sound as my way... I just received a toro bull D25 from Khampi: Wide and precise sound, and punchy too. I can say now that...

Khampi sent me back a modded D25 last week (Toro bull mod). That's the mod you have to do if you want deep bass and large soundstage on D25. First I'd liked this player for the real living sound and the preciseness in the high frequencies. But something was bad to my ears as far as bass were...

Thanx I saw this lottery on the web to win a greencard...

Maybe I am the problem

Thanks Ubidjza ! And don't be sorry: Even a laser have to die one day.

Thanx Pramod. No I don't sell it I don't know the electrical values of the headphone out, and even the owner's manuel doesn't tell a single word about it. All I can say is : az6801 is louder than sony D-25 (one of the loudest PDCP I've ever heard). Even at very loud level, I don't hear...

You're right Nerull: This is not a unique problem ! I read hundreds of posts to find a solution for my D-25, but everyone has the same problem and nobody has the solution. i tried to turn internal pots wildly, I cleaned the lens, lubricate the motor... Nothing, nix, nada. It always shut down as...

My old-fashion personal portable rig: PDCP Philips az6801 and Grado sr225

Thanks Skipinder ! I found this babe on ebay-austria. Lot of good deals are on ebay-germany as far as Philips is concerned. Sometimes in the netherlands too. I didn't expect that az6801 sounded that good and powerful. I drive my grado on 5. I think this PDCP can very easily drive aHD600-650...

I picked up a vintage Philips Pdcp from ebay-austria for about 30 dollars. Model AZ6801. Absolutely new in the box with all original accessories, including philips headphones, nice plastic cover...etc. The thing is big. Very big: 17x13,5x4 cm !!! She needs 6 batteries AA that made her heavy...

By the way, is there anyone here that once heard the AZ6801 ?

Hi Cordmore. I don't know much about cd-player, but yesterday I succeed in fixing a problem in a "normal", but vintage, philips cd player (not pdcp): The plyer used to spin up a bit and then write "ERR" (for error). Of course it didn't play the disc. I just opened the player and cleaned the...

ho ho... 'seems that the lazer produces no light at all... Could it be a ribbon cable or is the lazer definitely dead ?

Yes rab10, that's exacty the same problem. I contacted the seller and he said that eveything worked fine before he sent the package... But what a package: Only the black discman bag and a very thin cardboard box. Not enough to absorb the shocks... I'm french, and I would give an advice to all...

Hi ! I'm new here. I love this forum. I just got my "new" sony D-250 (25S). It looks very nice but has one big problem: I put my AC/DC adaptor on the D-250, then it powers up when I press play, tries to spin the CD, tries to accelerate, and...powers off Every time with different CDs, it works...
