Thanks for your reply; actually the skipping is quite random and the spindle motor is very silent. The D-33 is one of the first portable Sony CD...
I know, it's not a walkman, it's a recorder and it's mono ... but it's from 1986 and it looks nice. It's a sort of deluxe version of the TCM-6...
This walkman has so many problems that it appears to have been designed with an expiration date. Electronics: all caps go typically bad; some are...
The original D-50 is really a tank! mine is still working exactly as it was when it got out of the assembly line. Never needed any adjustment or...
I have used Sonic Stage only in a VM with Windows XP, but I still prefer to use an external dac with optical output and record MD using a standard...
Three years ago I bought a working Sony Discman D-33. It was indeed working and I had been using it for some time. Then it sat in a shelf (in its...
Yes, it is possible to leave the walkman in the play position, but a pinch roller would press against its capstan creating a dent. The only long...
Sony WM-DD30 and DD33 do not have a level adjustment as their predecessors, maybe Sony was quite confident in the design and despite components...
A couple of years ago I bought a pristine WM-EX652 with box and accessories and to be fully operational it just needed a new belt. Replacing the...

To record music off of a computer I suggest the U-control UCA222: it is rather cheap but has great sound quality, RCA output, optical output and...
When transferring music with SonicStage the compression is done by SonicStage itself via software and the netMD is just a disc writer. I have not...
Some time ago I emailed Vapex asking for a charger and they said they do not sell it nor they know who could sell it. I currently use the charger...
Thanks, but i'm running MacOS and Windows 10 would be a Virtual Machine anyway. I browsed the web, but it looks like MD software was windows only,...
There used to be a kit on e-bay with all replacement caps, but I cannot find it now. The caps are all surface mount, not the easiest ones to...
Actually I do not have any hi-MD recorder, they are too expensive and also discs are rarer and sell for crazy prices. And beside that I still...
