Description
Sony D-250 Discman with Sony AC-940 adapter, with fully restored BP-2 battery, with Sony anti-vibration plate and with 9V(6xAA) battery packD-25 is one of the best Discmans ever made, if you Google the reviews it stands its own against The King, D-555... some say it is because of its 4x oversampling digital filter.
Anti-vibration plate was recycled from Sony CPM-203P car mount plate. Nice equipment rack made my workhorse, Naim CDS3 player sound better, so I figured that doing the same for a Discman can not hurt. All Discmans in my own collection sound their best running on batteries. Unfortunately, BP-2 rechargeable battery does not last long, quickly discharges in Standby mode, dangerous in real life (you should NEVER leave a charger plugged in overnight with BP-2 battery inside!)... and that is why 9V, center-negative battery pack is included for your critical listening sessions. Just turn it OFF when not in use: Discman draws 40mAmp in OFF/Standby mode and drains batteries in less than a week
New middle gear installed, sled gears and spindle motor cleaned and oiled, power supply recapped, laser re-calibrated, headphone coupling upgraded to 200uF audio-grade Nichicon caps
Plays Red Book CDs and 80+min CD-R without any glitches, tracks skip-test CD (CD with 1mm scratch across the surface) without any problems
Please consider photos as part of description, ask questions BEFORE placing a bid. Cosmetically 8/10 because of a few microscopic chips and scuffs
