I picked up a a used SL-SX500 last week and find it to be quite a decent model for sound and line-out and the headphone out is ok to compared to many new models. I just thought you might want to replace it. I am new to collecting high-end and vintage pcdps so I was not so sure how difficult this model is to find. Thought I would let you know in case you are interested. No problem if you are not.

Hey Doc, thanks. I'll try to look for the 3904, wich I think I can still get new around here. But if I can't score it I'll let you know, if you're still willing to depart from the sl-sx500. Advance Dog, by the way, is looking for one. Maybe you guys can hook it up. Keep it loud Doc, and thanks.

Onix...it never occurred to me to ask you what headphones did you mate the Pana SL-SX500 with?

i have the Grado R-60s from what i read they are considered warm-sounding...

that i don't know as it's the only decent-sounding pair i've had

thanks for the ayuda

Hey Randy, I have both the SR-60 and the Alessandro MS-1. I also used the Koss KCS-35 and some Radioshack vertical phones, the NOVA-16's I think, that are really good. I also found some Radioshack buds, cat. numer 33-1106, to be very good. The SR-60 is a very good choice for allmost every player, and some people even prefer iit instead of the most expensive cans. Now I use the Alessandro's and the 33-1106 and I am happy with it. When I get a new player I will audtion it with the Alessandro's just to make sure it's okay.

As for warm sound, some people like it, some don't, it's just a matter of personal taste. But anyway, the RS-60's are also very detailed, kinda between analitical and warm. So there you go, you have a very nice source. Enjoy and take care compadre.

Carlos/Onix...Alessandros, huh? this must a model not offered in the US- sure not heard of or seen it on any shopping jaunts

i am happy with the SR-60s, though i would like to get a CHA7 Altoids amp from JMT and open the sound up, buuuuut...

1st things 1st-- i'll score the nice-sounding PCDP...i have decided to take a laid-back approach in getting the PCDP i want and i will prob'ly be much more sastisified...impulse buying just never works for me + i don't have the time

i almost snagged a Pana SL-SX 500 on eBay, but the battery cover was missing and i was wondering if could get the cover replacement, so, i wasn't going to bid high for used, battery cover-less PCDP

thanks for all the help again, C

Hey Randy, the Alessandro's are for sale in the U.S. They are sort ot tweaked Grado's. Mine are a mix between the SR-80 and SR-125. Look for info about them here, most people like them. As for the battery cover, if you get the player I think I can mail you mine. It's missing one of the locks, but I guess it's better than nothing. BTW, I have a list of players available in Mexico and the investigation necesary to get the best one available is taking a lot of time. I wish I was in the U.S. again. Anyway, take care Randy and good luck.

Carlos
