Message-ID: <972@gitpyr.UUCP> Date: Sun, 3-Nov-85 13:21:33 EST Article-I.D.: gitpyr.972 Posted: Sun Nov 3 13:21:33 1985 Date-Received: Mon, 4-Nov-85 02:31:08 EST Distribution: na Organization: Georgia Institute of Technology Lines: 12 Keywords: promises, promises Has anyone in netland seen a "Diskman" style CD player besides the Sony in a stereo store? I see ads, spec sheets, reviews, etc. for portable CD players by Technics and Yamaha, but can find none. A local "catalog showroom" has a Technics CD player (NOT the D-5) listed in its catalog, but not in stock ("We expect them to be delivered REAL SOON NOW"). Have there been problems with production? I know that the Sony D-5 is too sensitive to vibration to be truly a portable. If anyone has actually used a "Diskman" style CD player as a portable, I would be interested in your review. I want to use one for skiing (downhill in the white stuff...the only kind of real skiing).
