Hello, I have a mint DD-100 with headphones and its one of my favorite walkmans. I managed to buy a BBS-10 amplifier last year with the hope that I will find the other items that should include the body system one day. Is it true that only 150 sets have been made for the biggest Sony shops in the world to promote the DD100? Is there anybody on the forum that owns the BBS-10 system? Is there anybody that also has a incomplete system?
Nice find! I've got several items that I'm hoping to put together a complete system for so I know how hard it is. I remember hooking a guy up with a super-rare Kyocera Tuner for his amp, they might have been the only ones in the USA. One of our old members had that system, here's his thread. Good luck in your search, I'd post something down below in the wanted section. http://www.stereo2go.com/topic/index.php?content_oid=283610426305496059&board_oid=193392314111653432
Thank you for the link great information! Yeah lets hope but I think changes are very low that I will complete the set. Greets
I have a complete system, it’s awesome. But for a few years I was looking for the cable which is very particular. With the help of the greatly missed John lidle I was able to made one that worked. Luckily the seller contacted me years after that to tell me the cable appeared, and he was very kind to send it to me, so I finally could have it completed.
Great unit indeed . I wonder how many are still working from the limited number and where are they all ?
Thats a beautiful piece! Be proud that you own one, I understand that there are only been made around 300. I think many of them where lost if there are still 150 around it should surprise me.
The Body System I thought was wearable tech that simulated that feeling of a live concert where you actually feel the energy of a soundstage hit you with those massive audio stacks. The sound of kick drums and bass guitar actually creates a pressure wave in big venues like the Boodo Khan and the much revered Philmore which the body kit attempted to recreate while listening to a cassette of a concert like the legendary Santana Lotus set from 1973.
Could you please explain to a noncomppoop what exactly is this BoodoKhan system? Do you wear h/p and have a sub firing at you, or is it a pillow that kicks your @ss? It does look like something I would pay $$ to just listen to
The link Mister X posted gives lots of information about the system http://www.stereo2go.com/topic/index.php?content_oid=283610426305496059&board_oid=193392314111653432
What it does is to make you feel the bass in your body, more exactly in your back. It has a big woofer that vibrates into the ultra low and deep bass so you can't actually hear it, but feel it. You have to put it in a chair and place your body over it. You have to avoid the sofa or anything with soft materials because they absorv the vibration, it's better to put it over a hard surface (like a wood chair or something). Then you connect your Boodo Khan walkman and just start to enjoy. It's a very surprising sensation, and it makes you feel a movie like if you were into. Also it makes you feel like being beside one of those big speakers in concerts, that you feel in your chest. It's not easy o describe but I bet you get the idea
Hello, Its been 2 years and I had end my hopes on ever making this bbs-10 complete.. so I sold the amplifier on eBay on the end of last year. Today I found a bbs-10 seat only on a local auction website! now I don't have a amplifier anymore. Can someone help me with obtaining one? Greets Tom
I wish you luck in your search. I gave up but desperately wanted that feeling of a live concert experience. As with many things in our world of true analog audio it helps to become enchanted by some new analog experience. For me it's the Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs vinyl releases of classic albums like Dire Straits. These one step pressings generally come on two 12" discs which play at 45rpm. The separation of highs and the presence of a full bass sound is as close as you can get to the original 1" master tape in quality. Have not listened to the "half speed" master of Brothers In Arms yet but it's on order. Keen to see how it compares to the more expensive MOFI format vinyl. Often a good distraction is valuable whilst you pause your quest!
In the U.K. 12" singles played at 45 RPM were popular and were the only format most professional DJs would use. Since you mention Dire Straits, and live performances have a look at https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325094269383?hash=item4bb120e1c7:g:k3QAAOSw~vVe-FGj
True. Same here in AUS. The 12" single was very popular. I have a few of the late Glen Wheatley's 45RPM Master mixes from the 1980's. The "Send Me An Angel" by Real Life was a great example. Last saw Dire Straits play live in 1986 which was a good time to see them as Brothers In Arms formed a substantial part of the tour set list back then. We all know about the acclaimed engineering on that recording.
Direct-to-disc LPs do get you ‘there’: I had Four Seasons LP done this way and it did sound marvelous… and I did hear the part when some idiot from the recording team had his iPhone getting a call Half-Speed mastering was a minor craze, but I failed to hear the difference for when I had a dozen renditions of Wish You Were Here
I thought the half speed thing might be less interesting than MOFI single step LP's but could not find a HD vinyl copy of Brothers In Arms anywhere except the Abbey Road product. I would be a tad miffed on buying the Wish You Here half speed vinyl if I could not hear any real difference. The nuances of Dave Gilmour's solos on that legendary black Fender Strat are what I wait for when listening to that album. Especially early on when he plays through a phase shifter effect pedal over the sustained keyboard chords. Magic.
Hello, A update, I managed to make a cable for the Sony BBS-10 body system, I have experienced the body seat now and it's great! I have the body seat and the amplifier double, so I am willing to trade these against the headphones and an original cable, if somebody want to trade these please contact me.
