D-3 Sony CD Player <=link (ebay)

According to the seller it's a D-3.

according to stereophile <=link

"Next test was at a friend's home in a duel with another portable: the Sony D-3. We played both through his Naim electronics and KEF loudspeakers. Sorry, folks, the Sony was superior in every respect: sweeter top end, more involving midrange, and deeper, richer bass. The Sony, of course, is about three or four times the price of the CD- 3400, and lacks a digital output. "

I was wondering if anyone owned one and what they thought about it. Also, will this sound better than a D-25? I tried google searches but found nothing about this CD player.

You're welcome

$9.51

What a deal!!! I've got a D-25 too (a couple actually) so I will look forward to your impressions.

...How much do they usually go for?

Well considering that D-25's are about $40 w/o accessories... Also, I had the impression that the 3400 was a REALLY good player (better than the D-25). If the D-3 is better than THAT...

It's all speculation, though; the real test will be how good it sounds. When do you think you'll get it?

I'm sending the payment out tomorrow, so two weeks tops. It's really up to him.

cool player! I have wanted one of these for a while. I think this is the one where the cd sticks out of the player. Do you remember those sony record players with the record standing on edge playing?
