Larry, I had one of those early Sony portable CD players (although I don't think it was first generation - maybe second or third). I remember the battery unit that attached to the bottom. Heavy, but I didn't mind it. I like the unit, but it got cooked somehow (never knew how). The audio magazine that I remember (unless you are remembering an earlier one) was Digital Audio and Stereo Review. That was later shortened to Digital Audio. Wayne Green was the editor, and also reviewed CDs. He raved over things that I had no interest in - but at least he was excited over it. I remember reading Pohlmann too...but I no longer remember any of what he wrote. James __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
