The Sony Discman D-777 CD Compact Player

hey guys i am using D-2, it does a good job in delivering the details, but not the warm sound, feel a bit cold.

 

[screwdriver]

i find the D2 very good but a little strong for my taste - it is cald as you have said .

i use a D4 for my regular listening .

Panasonic SL-NP3, shown with a D25s for comparison. I was really impressed by the build quality of this pdcd. Manufactured in 1986, it is in immaculate condition. The pictures here don't do it justice (I need a better digital cam....)

Player with Case (carrying case with enclosed rechargeable battery..very big)

Player alone

New PCDPs are **** compared to the old Sony ones in terms of sound quality and being able to drive hi-fi headphones. There are some notable other brands as well (Denon and Ratshack Optimus players) but Sony is most prominent. The old ones are much better built as well although most are lacking in portability because of size and no skip protection. A notable exception to this is the vaunted D-777 which is uber-portable and held in high regard for its sound. They're fun to collect too

Search around in the portable forum, there's tons of info on the "legendary" players.

They're fun to collect.. just don't go overboard and get evicted three months later.

But on the bright side, you can beat the repo man with your metal CD players ... bet he didn't see that one comin'!

Not forgetting the very last 'high-end' player, the (rarer than D777) E900/5...

The last of a dead breed i'm afraid

Hmmm... anyone wanna either (a): kill this gallery and restart or (b): have someone (maybe Head-Fi?) host some good pics?... It seems everything in the first few pages of the thread is now gone..

While I could probably host it on my webspace, my ISP probably wouldn't like it

... And while I could host it off my domain, it's being hosted off 256k upstream DSL...

Anyone have any ideas?

 

[bong]

it'll be a shame to lose this gallery.

although the missing pics from the first few pages are a bit annoying. it'll be a great idea if someone can host the pics and open up a gallery. i'd love to but i don't have my own domain, and i'm still on a 56k modem!

anyways... here's some more pics:

Sony D-777

from bottom to top: Sony D-555. D-777, D-EJ915. look how thin PCDPs have become...

cheers.

Hi,
I still have lots of picture of my discmans. Let me know if you want these pics, if you plan to transfer the pics to a new host. Sorry, I don't have my own domain either.

[Pappucho]

Purk, if you'd like to go ahead and email me one of each player and I'll post them here. I should still have plenty of room on my webhost. Email them as an attachment to pappucho@aol.com.

 

[purk]

Pappucho,
I'll do that. Give me sometime and I'll give you lots of pics.
