Guest Gray Rider Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Sony used to make high-end Discmans until recently. Models like the 905, D-EJ01 and D-NE10 just kept getting better and better in sound as well as design. Now all they make are the cheap ones. It's a real shame because technology is getting better but it is not being used for high end Discmans. CD is still superior to MP3 and I hope this trend changes and Sony starts making these cool expensive Discmans once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sector001 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 doubtful, the wave is with MP3's...the CD player is just too big to carry around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGHMW Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I have a vintage Discman (D-131) in my garage, as well as 2 D-NE700 ATRAC/MP3/CD Walkmen, with one being used in my AK47 CD/DVD "hustle bag" as part of my "try before you buy" setup, which includes a silver RM-MC33EL and MDR-V700DJ along with it/ I would probably buy more, provided the market on eBay holds up over time, but yes I have owned a slew of different Discmen/CD Walkmen since 1986, my frst unit being the D-7S Discman, followed by various others over all the years that I collected them but later had to sell in order to pay the bills when money ran low. Hopefully I will be able to get most of my old units back (or at least the same series of models), because the market is soon to run dry, in fact I predict that the Discman/CD Walkman market will run out before the MD/Hi-MD market does.
