While I was in Japan back in January, I saw the most beautiful CD player I've ever seen. Unfortunately, it cost 26,000¥ ($210 USD), and I only had 10,000¥ ($80 USD). It was the Sony D-EJ955 in blue. Now I am in the market for a CD player, and I wish to (no, I need to) get this CD player. It has rechargable batteries, EVERYTHING, 2-mode G-Protection, advanced bass mode (limits sound to the range people can hear, so no fuss sound), CD-Text rod, CD-R/RW readable, and I think it can directly WRITE to a CD-R/RW with a cradle (comes with the cradle). Actually, yes it can, it can be like an MD player (MDLP). It is amazing! The top is made of stainless steel with a shiny finish with rings that make it look soooo cool! I wanted it so badly in Japan, but it was way too expensive, my dad loved it too. So, I've been look around the Internet to see if I could import it. Well, I don't speak Japanese, so it's a little difficult. Most distributors only sell it in Japan. I found a few Russian sites that sell it, but not to North America. I even found a few Czech and Swiss sites that have them, but they'd only sell to Europe. Then I found it. An American site that has the D-EJ955 for the US!!!! It's not sold here, so it may come with an adapter or I'll have to get one, but that's easy. I'll try to see if I can get extra batteries (they're not sold in the US), even though they last forever (lithium [like out PPCs!], lasts an average of 65 hours). The site sells it for $179 USD, which is a little high (15,200¥ now in Japan, that's $130), but if I can get it, I need it!! Yes, I would like an MDLP player from Japan, but that's REALLY expensive ($300 USD!), and I have a CD player in my car, so that's why I want a CD player, plus this CD player is like an MDLP, you can record onto CDs the same way, wonderful! And super advanced technology!! AND THE CD IS COVERED WITH JAPANESE WRITING!!! That can't be any cooler!! Anyway, I want it, I need it, and I'm going to get it. I don't have a job, but I mow the neighbor's lawn for $25 a week, and I have $45 now, so I can just owe my parents til I make all the money. That's only 8 weeks til I have $200 dollars, so I can do it. Here's the websites:
For info on the D-EJ955, go to this site. In Japanese.
For the site that sells it in the US, . This site also sells MANY other Japanese products to the US and Canada, including MDLPs, CD players, portable DVD players, MP3 players, and much more!! It looks like a decent site, Warehouse123.com.
I like the blue one *drools*
[edit]
Yes, I can get extra batteries from that site, $24 each, so I'll probably get 1 or 2 extra. They may not be lithium ion, they are NiMH, but I don't know what that is, but who cares! I want them! Here's a picture of the .
). Yet, some people say the sound quality is bad, but that's with the supplied earphones, people say that if you use other headphones, that the quality is top of the line. Oh, and the batteries are not lithium ion, they're nickel cadmium.
