Do you have anything above DDR2-1066? These are getting very rare now & I have not seen any on EBAY for a long while

I have only a set or two of 1066 ( Geil Black Dragon 4GB in a working PC currently ). I have not seen any either.

One of three best ever Walkman ever made when it come's to sound quality. Not just in playback, but in recording. This is one of them,

Model Number WM-D6C.

EDIT: I have one even more rare accessory which no longer works, that's the rechargeable BP-23 battery pack.. This walkman is mostly working with all original parts including belts. I'm surprised the belts has lasted this long, well over 30 years. The only thing that's not working 100% is auto stop at the end of the tape, it's intermittent, sometimes work's. Other than that it's 100% working.

EDIT 2: This user got a brand new one KING OF ALL WALKMANS - NEW SONY WM-D6C Professional Cassette Player / Recorder LED-Meter METAL DOLBY - YouTube

I would love to get one of those...
In the meanwhile, I got an TCS 370 needing repairs...
Pretty fancy machine for it's age...

I did see this in the thread. My question is.

Is that "full logic control?" & what's wrong with it?

I had the Awia HS-R8, but my best friend broke it. I think I still have it, but only the radio works. ..It's full logic control.

TBH, never opened it, only asked on ebay for a new belt, I will need to measure it and have it custom made, i know it powers on, the motor works and I can hear a mechanism working and it self shutç down...
I do have an WM-EX506 with a replaced belt, it's a similar model to my EX-500 bought new with a soldering issue...
Other than that, a couple shoeboxes filled with Walkman's and MD's...

Im to lazy to go around and start fixing things unfortunately...

The Aiwa looks like a cool ancient machine, though I'm only into Sony, I even bought recently a car Sony discman just because I couldn't resist https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/sony_car_discman_d_800k.html...

not enough space to post all pictures. (i have ~10-15 cards more like a couple Vegas, 980 Tis and older) and around as many CPUs (from Intel 775s over AMD FX, Sandybridge, haswell, skylake, coffee lake and comet lake)

You could start a shop, or sell it all and retire.

 

[Audioave10]

My collection is kinda.......weird.

 

[Remeca]

I like collecting physical copies for consoles 7th gen and up. Most of my systems I only buy games I'm going to play and like for sure, or have already played a digital copy of. For some reason though, the last couple of years, I've been snatching up all the Xbox 360 games I can (except sports games), and it is starting to get ridiculous. Famous, infamous and hidden gems. This doesn't include my overflow 360 games, which are sports and duplicates mostly. The game on the end without artwork is The Simpsons Video Game.

Thanks everyone for keeping the thread alive!! I need to update a few pictures in here myself of late too... And I definitely need to get my game shelves in order......

Hold on to your high end dead DDR2 memory modules, it may not be dead. I'm investigating my dead collection utilizing the Ramcheck LX to pinpoint the fault, then did a reflow on the single chip.. Now memory module is now working (G.Skill trident DDR2)..

I've got a small collection of decent watches, sorry, no PP or Rolex Daytona or Panerai (honestly didn't like the design of Panerai) and I'm quite happy with them:

Also into HiFiMan headphones (and others):

And IEM's, mostly ChiFi's

Nice! I'm 9 years your junior and still rockin' with my cans as well, will take pics of my 3 Sennheiser cans, and my other cans as well (Audio Technica, Denon, Beyerdynamic, AKG, etc (I'm something of a hoarder ). I've got more than 10 cans at last count.....

I miss complete games in an Artistically created Big Box!

At one time in my life I was a major coin dealer, I also spent a decade or two collecting pc parts, had a major firearms collection...I even used to have a warehouse full of vintage bicycles. I also collected SCCA solo II race cars, muscle cars, and Harley Davidsons. At one point, I also had a huge collection of used/vintage aquariums and aquarium memorabilia from the early days of the hobby and a transistor radio collection that would knock your socks off.

Although, in the last 10 to 15 years my life has radically changed. I don't collect anything anymore, I prefer the opposite...minimalism. I found peace in it somehow, along with meditation and prayer I suppose.

That, however...doesn't preclude me from keeping a few trinkets on my desk.

So...here is my little collection of oddities.



Best Regards,

Liquid Cool

Yeah...I'm a Browncoat. I thought it was funny right after I posted this, I went over to Petco to pick up a nerite snail and on the way back I was following a truck with "Serenit" on the license plate and a window sticker that said, "I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar".



I have to tell you llm...I thought it was the item in the back that would have received the first comment.

Aww man, now I'm getting irritated... You've got a keychain too? Nice!

I'm a Browncoat myself. I need to prove up and get my bling on!

As I'd said I would, I'm back with more shots of the stuff I'm into, or rather, was into real hard, now I'm just crusing along with what I already have.

First, my Sennheiser cans, HD800, HD600 and HD6XX (chose the HD6XX since it best resembles the HD650 in sound signature (the latter was more costly)

A shot of my fav higher end cans, love 'em all! (Denon AH-D7000 (modded with SMC plugs), ENIGMAcoustics Dharma D1000, Senn HD800, AKG K812, and smack in the middle, Grado GS1000i). Damn, didn't realized I'd dinged the paintwork on my HD800 till I'd taken the pic...

Group shot of my home use cans....I'd rotate these cans from time to time.

And since I was at it, I'd decided to include my Topre keyboards (no Cherry MX ones as I have too many). First off, group shot of all my Topre keyboards - 2x HHKB Pro 2, 2x CoolerMaster Novatouch, a Leopold FC660C, and my pride and joy, a Topre RealForce 103ub 55G, such a joy to type with, like havng finger sex with the keyboard!

After snapping the pic and keeping most of the keyboards, I'd realized I'd left one one more of my Topre keyboard, the Type Heaven...these have 3rd party dye sub PBT keycaps IIRC....it's been a while since I'd gotten them, memory's a bit fuzzy (prolly due to faulty RAM modules )

 

[Audioave10]

Love the Headphones & Keyboards! I run mine through the JDS Labs "Element" DAC/AMP you can see there on my desk.
