I've heard about the D-5 and D-7 Sony Discmans. Now our local
Price Club has a sale on the D-14. A good deal, too: $150 for
the unit, an AC adapter and a large plastic (and alas, ugly)
carrying case.
It looks just like a D-5. What's the difference?
Thanks in Advance,

What's the difference? > Last week I went into a local store that had the D5 on special and told the salesman I wanted to buy a D5 before he even had a chance to try a sales pitch. Since he couldn't just let me go without trying to sell me something more expensive, he said that I should get the D14 (~$20 more). When I asked what it had that the D5 didn't, he said "better tracking," I just said "Oh, what's wrong with the D5's tracking?" He mumbled something about the D7 being better when you were jogging with it, and decided to leave well enough alone. (I had already said I didn't want the battery pack.)
