Given the resurgence of cassette and walkman's (prices on e-bay are constantly increasing) I think it might be useful to signal to potential...
My technics is an SL-XP350 and with the glued CD lock mechanism it is working fine. I have already bought a cheap SL-XP165 which has the same...
In 1994 I bought too a Technics and, at the time, I used the eject button regularly; after ~20 years I got back that very same PCDP from the...
Was it the Sony Wm-504 ? Hugo has it in its collection
In principle it is a nice idea, but it has a flaw. All other brands used the simpler three spheres with spring spindle where the disc is pressed...
I really love the Technics SL-XP5, I wish there were more PCDP's with such bug transparent window. I'm not a big fan on the high-end Sony filled...
I agree with Bub, popping sound is typically a bad grounding: check the screws holding the pcb, one of them is grounding the whole circuitry and...
Do you have an idea of what caps need to be changed ? I was going to recap mine, but all caps checked fine, well within their specified tolerance...
That is what is strange to me: the clearance between the spindle and the laser pickup is more than 1 mm: to have the CD spindle touch the black...
Going back to the original topic. I think you were right all along with your very first suggestion. By chance today I checked the lase pick-up...
I would first adjust azimuth and then do the tones test; adjusting the azimuth is much easier than what it seems, also you do not have to be too...
wow, I guess it was made with the wrong metal, that looks like heavy corrosion and a chemical reaction with humidity in the air ! I have one...

Thanks ! Hope Kaosun was not too disappointed for the low value CDP's... looking at the forum he's used to another level of players. As much as I...
I have a Sony D-NE1 I bought in 2003 and it appears to be one of the first Sony CDP to read MP3 files. [ATTACH] (stock picture) It has all sort...
I posted a couple of query's on kaosuncd forum but, as you warned me, I got no reply so far. The forum is also configured not to exactly encourage...
In the DD walkman's there are just two adjustments for the tape path (actually three, but head height is complex to adjust): the black plastic...
The SM does not even have the schematics, I think Sony just assumed that in case of problems the whole logic board was to be replaced. Anyway I...
What brand of capacitors do you recommend ? I'm looking at Farnell catalogue (it has the Italian version so I guess shipping cost should be lower)...
I know it is not a valuable CDP, but it sports very nice features like ESP and a real resume function(like a tape walkman) while still retaining...
