Hello to everyone! I am a new member - actually is "my first day and post here! I am from Greece and those days after a big research to fix the clicking noise of my excellent red color DDII, i decide to sign on this great forum. I am waiting also to receive on Monday, an almost new WM-D6C with original accessories... Congratulations for your persistence and willingness to find a final solution on faulty gear!
Welcome delamostre! I hope you share some pics of your new WM-D6C! We've got some GREAT members from Greece with us. It seems to be the place where the good stuff hides out!
Thanks a lot both of you for this nice welcome! Αλέξανδρε την καλησπέρα μου man! Indeed we are too many passioned for collectible Hi-Fi components in Greece! Before posting new pictures from my WM-D6C which is coming tomorrow, i will share my first "love"! My Sony DDII Seating near by a Telefunken 204TS with his original MDR-15 headphones And in front of my Nak with Sony phones from a Sony NWZ-S764 player
Using a Nak as a backdrop for your DD is genius! Those MDR headphones certainly bring back some memories.....
Well today is another day... Santa was came earlier for me!! My new toy is here!!!!! Completely with all accessories in brand new condition! My Sony WM-D6C looks perfect and sounds incredibly amazing!
This is TRUE! I didn't believe that i bought it in this immaculate condition. Specially when i examine it, it's truly a brand new item - I guess it was never used before! Really a great product with excellent build quality, extremely good feeling on metal case and a reference sound. I didn't try the recording function yet, but for me it's not a priority, due to other cassette recorders that i have and as a main recording machine that i use - the ZX7.
Hello fellows! Happy new year to all of you! New kid on the blog today! My Sony WM-DD30 in mint condition with MDR-A21 headphones. I will tell you my audible experience afterwards. I will compare it with the other brother WM-DDII. Here you are with some nice photos in front of my vintage Pioneer CT-F9191 cassette deck
Welcome aboard Delamostre As Brutus mentioned we have great members from Greece and good to have you here you got a beautiful collection, I love your red DD walkman.
Thank you very much for this kind welcoming! When i was younger (this doesn't means i don't feel like "a child" nowadays ) those beauties was my "descent objects"! Now it's time to grab them! After a comparison, the red one (WM-DDII) sounds better to my ears. (It's also more impressive to my eyes!) On medium volume levels, "Megabass" circuit of WM-DD30 distorts a lot of sound quality on level "mid", adding unusual more bass on "high" level, loosing also too much information on lower octaves without it. At lower volume levels "mid" position is OK(?) - with question mark - I feel like adding an equalizer only on low frequencies. I truly believe that WM-DDII is a great deal in terms of sound quality, regarding product level category limitations. This weekend I am on the way to hear them with better headphones and I will come back with more detailed impressions!
Καλωσορισες delamostre ! I see you have already met above the nicest people on earth! Definitely excellent taste in audio gear and great photos . Sony Super Metal Master + Sony WM D6C ,that's how all that analog sound hype still going strong. Welcome to S2G.
I tell you one thing, but only my opinion, stay away from the MegaBass on any Sony Walkman they are all just Sh!t. If you was talking about Aiwa DSL that would be a different matter. All Sony MegaBass did to anything was to destroy the sound, from my opinion who ever thought it this was good must have been deaf sorry I take that back as it’s an insult to deaf people. Even deaf people would know better.
Sony's Mega Bass aside its heavy title can do nothing more than it does a loudness switch in an amplifier and it is meant to be used in very low volumes to give some boost in low frequencies ,its a cheap circuitry consisting of very few components, I never use it on my amplifier and rarely in a walkman . Aiwa's DSL (Dynamic Super Loudness) is a totally different concept more sophisticated it works so well that every time I use my Aiwa Hs Px-101 with a new cassette recording I'm thinking " let's see how DSL will improve the sound" , it is unfair for both systems any comparison but if you do ,truth be told ,you have to hate Mega Bass.
