Christopher Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Well, to be honest, it's not really about what you can get locally, but more or less what you can get abroad. What's your maximum budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bland10000 Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 (edited) Kenwood has a netmd unitkenwood netmdthat is similiar to the dr-80---cradle dependent for usb transfer, 8mw headphone output, and same battery life. If this is like other Kenwoods, I own one and coerce my students into letting me play with their different models, it also has four-pole output on the headphones direct from the player. If you go through the remote; it is three-pole output.Apparently, u cant buy the IM-DR80 nemore there...←I've noticed over the past four weeks that dealers around Tokyo and Yokohama are cutting the prices and/or offering double the points on your point card for the dr80. At the beginning of March, the lowest price on an 80 was 24,000 en, now they are going for 19,800 en. Retailers are clearing the dr80 out of inventory; hopefully because something new from Sharp is going to take its place.

bland10000 Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I don't no of any who ship since I don't have to worry about that. The big department stores, Ishimaru denki, yodobashi camera, and bic camera may ship. Yodobashi has only lowered their price to 22,000 en and is offering 15 % points to your card rather than the standard 10 % of your purchase. Ishimaru denki had their price at 19,800 two weeks ago but the store in Yokohama and in Akihabara both sold out quickly. Not sure about Bic; in my town it is across the street from Yodobashi so it is always an afterthought for me to go in.I did notice that other retailers in Akihabara were matching Ishimaru's price two weekends ago, but since Ishi sold out of theirs, the sole proprietors probably raised the price up a bit since they didn't have to compete.
