Some of My discman collection

I just collect them.I am a diehard rock and jazz fan.In fact, I am a media collector, I have a lot of collection of various media,such as records,cassettes,reel to reel,DCC,MD,CD and LD.I also like 70‘s and 80's audio equipment,I think that era was the golden age of music fans.

 

I need a CDP-101 in my life one-day! You have a truly wonderful collection that I have to admit I'd love to own myself!

 

that is the best discman collection i've ever seen.
oja, don't forget the d311, together with the d515 sony's best headphones-out discman.

 

Another beautiful collection.

 

Wonderful collection of boxed units .Have you got the boxed D-Z555?i have one but not boxed which I have never seen !

 

Do you mean the CD207 ?
If so some information about that mains only machine.

Back when I decided I wanted my first CD player back in 1989 I looked through the adverts in What HiFi and the CD207 was the only player available new for under £100 (a whole penny less). As it was a colleague had just upgraded and he sold me his Hitachi CD Player for £60. I have sometimes wondered whether the Philips would have been a better choice. I got quite a few years use out of the Hitachi but when I bought a Philips CDi it was the equivalent of taking my speakers out from behind curtains.

 

Longman, Philips CD-I, think I have around 7 of these!

 

That is like the one I had. Bought "new" boxed with a FMV cartridge for about £60 from a firm that specialised in customer returns before the days of Ebay. I actually sold it for as profit quite a few years later. I also had the Top Loading one looking a bit like a CD207 for a while. I never had any decent CDi games though

 

@Longman
no, it's the az 6829 or 6819=the philips collection
i think, never heard that one, after the denon dcp-150 the best discman made.
i have 3 of those, they are far better than every sony i've heard both headphones as line-out.
it's the dc2 for discman

 

I have a boxed one of those as well!

 

This is an interesting Chicago Tribute article from 1986 stating that Sanyo portable CD Players were manufactured by Sony.

Back in the late 80's I remember a lot of people on the streets of Hong Kong had the Sony D-88 Discman to play CD Singles with. My CDP-557ESD/707ESD had a sticker (before I peeled it off) promoting the 8cm CD compatibility with its newly designed tray.

The Denon PCDPs had the same IR remote as my old 15" Hitachi TV lol!

 

Some lovely tech on here. Great collections. I mostly have Walkmans and Tape decks but I've recently taken more on an interest in Discmans/PCDs. I have these two so far, a Marantz PCD 520 and a Fisher PCD-100. The Marantz is great and sounds almost as good as my Cambridge Audio CXC when hooked up to my amp

 

@TK421 unless you get bitten by a collector's bug, you can stop here and now. Marantz, re-badged Philips, is one of the best-sounding Discmans ever made. Nothing special about Fisher sound, as you would expect from a 14-bit DAC, but it looks like a million bucks and even @kent might find it difficult to get it boxed and mint

 

Now that is some very Impressive collection.
Probably the most complete I've personally ever seen.
So what would be your top 5 list (building quality and sound altogether?

And i'm curious about the Philips models, which ones arme really worth and how do they compare to top Sony's or the likes ?
