Casual portable hangs with Sony WM-D6C, Phatlab Phantasy II, and Kennerton Thror.

Damn. You're like a god among men with that rig.

Thank you; that's exactly what my wife says to me also.*

We all dream of a playful slap on the rig, haha
The reality is though, I grit my teeth if someone doesn't treat my gear with the utmost care.

Hercules Audio Master great for live records.

I found my partner's old D-40 Discman (still needs a proper clean, I thought the case had broken down with the mold but is drying off nicely). Typical Japanese - excellent condition, battery removed before storing.
I need to find a 9V power supply in order to give it a spin. Does anyone have experience with these early-generation players? Do they have a reasonable sound? Would line out into my TA-ZH1ES be the best output vs the headphone out?

** I successfully salvaged the case. It looked like it had been at the bottom of the sea due to 25+ years in our damp/humid climate.

What a visually complimentary pairing, I'd be thrilled if the IER-Z1R looked like this.

Line out would be best, unless you want to know if the PO sounds good. Which it very well may do, depending on what you're trying to drive.

Ya inspiring me to hook my Panasonic SL-S150 up today, since I still don't have a dedicated disc spinner.
