After years of only owning a tapedeck, I finally bought myself a walkman. Walking to work just got a lot better!
minus-squareespentan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·16 days agoPlayer quality, both in terms of sound and build quality, peaked in the mid 90s, in my humble opinion. Players like the WM-EX9 are favorites of mine and my go-to when I listen to tapes. If I’m feeling nostalgic I might use a WM-DC2. If i don’t need something quite as portable, the WM-D6C is hard to best, in terms of sound and general build quality. The DC2 and D6C are getting prohibitively expensive, though. If you want something that works well, sounds well and lasts, I’d look for a high-end Sony player from the mid to late 90s.
