I subscribe to Stereophile for over quarter-century now (and until 5 years ago it was also 'The Absolute Sound', 'What HiFi' and 'HiFi+") and I...
@Mister X you have an eagle's eye :) Myguess there were two versions, with an ad showing a pre-production model. National RF-5410 which I...
YES! At least with Sony Discmans this is the first indication that spindle motor is worn to death: plays when at an angle but skips when level....
I forgot to mention yet another pointer that Amadana should be used as a 'desktop' CD player (or rather CD Transport for those who care about SQ),...
For a bbox I did full recap only once - for RC-550 "El Diablo". Having SM gives extra confidence that even in the worst case you won't have to buy...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Another listening session, and a small "discovery" - Amadana is not a Discman as I initially presumed, it should be used as a...
I would not mind to continue defending my point but... over the last few days my angle been too often at the wrong with this 100-year old S2G-er...

All tunes on my iPhones are kept at 192kbps (as folks at Linn forum say: "shit in - shit out"), so I am not sure if this post above was addressed...
@Longman if you are happy with Aiwa then no need to spend more on SL-XP150. To my ears this Technics sounds better than most 1-bit Discmans but as...
when it comes to something burning on your bedside table in the middle of the night - NO! you should not trust anything or anyone. Even...
Absolutely! That is why I personally use only Li-Ion cells with protection overcharge/discharge boards already installed. Although these boards...
any standard Li-Ion 3.7V cell can be charged by D-150, as if it is the original BP-2 battery. As long as you do not leave battery inside with...
could you post more photos of this model and its leather case? Very funky indeed!!!
When visiting my birthplace (Motherland?!?) in Alma-Ata (capital of Kazakhstan, then renamed as Almaty, then Astana, now Nur-Sultan) I spent a few...
Luckily, @koleloi Discman is fine now. But @lupogtiboy is absolutely right: practically all Sony Discmans worth buying have this problem of a...
