Yes, I believe there is a cure...

For me, it was buying a PS2... I've got really hooked on it (you've probably noted that my post count has slumped

)... so, no thoughts of portable audio...

...I'm going to do the one final update, with Muzikks D303 which I think pretty much rounds up the collection... and then thats it

....I hope...

Looking forward to the D-303 update, especially the D-33 update since it's really the best of what I've heard and I'd like to know how it stacks up to the rest of the players you've reviewed.

So is PS2 less expensive than being a portaphile if not less addicting?

Is anyone worried about all these aging players breaking down over time?

I had a venerable JVC from 91, and it stopped working about 5 years ago. Haven't found anyone who's willing to repair for a reasonable price.

In a couple of more years, I would think it'll be hard to find replacement parts.


Now headphones is a different story, they can potentially last a lifetime

lol... no, its more expensive...

Nevermind... at least its giving my thumbs excercise, there is a plus there somewhere

I see a bunch of D515 lying around. Anyone willing to part with one of theirs?

mmmm.....Boodo Khan.....

I listened to one of those at a Navy Exchange back around '87 or so. Nice stuff. Of course $200 for it back then was insane.

Haha, I thought I was the Resident 1st Gen G-Protection freak, but until then...haha 880 [815], 915...but, of course, I got the 915 brand-new from J&R for $130 and the 880 for 20 bucks, unlike those...you've got

My wallet must have a hole in it because I keep buying PCDP's on ebay. Once I get to hear a bunch of 'em maybe I'll narrow the collection down. Just bought a nice D-E905 on ebay.

 

[usc goose]

that was you?

i was so ready to snipe 200 too but i kept telling myself. "home theatre, home theatre". (i'm planning on dropping some serious money on a receiver and some speakers in the near future)

 

[Rizumu]

You know what, that auction went for a hell of a lot less than I thought it was going to. $200 for an NIB D-E905? I've always seen them go for more. Nice score, Canman.

 

[D-EJ915]

That guy said he bought it in the US for $450, but why is it a Canada model then?

 

[Musicfan123]

Not many people are 100% honest in their ebay descriptions. It's a shame really.

 

[D-EJ915]

I was just pointing out the fact that it had french on it, I emailed him about the price discrepency and he actually told me about where he bought it, but it's still strange...French wasn't one the USA model's boxes...was it??

Just got in from a CPA exam cram course! 1.5 weeks away to my CPA exam, I probably won't be in here in all that time. Wish me luck....

Congrats Canman on that E905, it sold for alot less than I had anticipated. It looks like I missed out on a few other goodies this weekend on ebay.

It's good to see that Im not the only one who is still a portaphile. Apparently it's a good time to still be addicted to this hobby. I am getting my first DZ555 this week. I still need to finish out the collection, a E905, D777, and a D303.

 

[Rizumu]

*cries* That D-555 was MINE, mine I tell you...I was winning with 47 seconds left but with this blasted 56k connection...

*will be doing all his sniping on campus from now on*
