There is something special about listening to an old cassette walkman it takes me back to days gone by, if the tapes are done on a good quality deck they sound awsome on a walkman, my dad had a tck611s deck with dolby s and proper bias controls he taught me how to calibrate a tape and I was away doing me mixed tapes.... good quality recordings, i did all my tapes on that and played them on me walkman I now have that deck and use it still for me tapes. So many fond memories always reminds me of Christmas because as a kid in the 80s and 90s I used to save my pocket money and me folks used to put the rest and I would get the latest Sony walkman for Christmas and be super excited about getting it I still remember loosing sleep for my first walkman the wm-fx43 and wasn't disappointed, still have my Walkmans and still in mint condition, model's I have are WM-FX43, WM-FX45 and WM-FX435. I still use my walkmans, most of my tapes are drum and bass and always sound better on tape, megabass was the best bass system of any personal stereo.

Hello! I'm glad that I found this model Aiwa PX347 for about 4 euros last weekend at a flea market. What I can say is that a pair of NIMH batteries keep me going for an unexpectedly long time even with old tapes. The belt is good, but I don't know for how long. The audition is good, the super bass is as it should be. The shape of the batteries is easy to find, as a minidisc user I know how difficult it is to find gumsticks!

I have several cassette walkman players. One is a Jensen SCR68C, it still plays but the sound quality is pale and flat compared with my earlier players. I am a bit surprised it "broke" after using it twice. Had you bought it new, and if so did you return it for a refund? Even some of the very lower-end 1990s-era Sony-brand Walkman players sound pretty good, or even Sony's final cassette walkman from the late 2000s, the WM-FX290. It's amazing many Sony-brand Walkman players still work many years beyond their anticipated lifespan.

@soundelegy5987

Hey there! The thing is that whenever you buy a new portable cassette player, the belt is of course decades old and therefore already stretched or broke. The good thing is that changing a belt is really easy and will get your player plenty of years of good use. I would recommend you to look for a Sony WM-EX line in good condition and change its belt one time. That's what I've done with good results. I've also made a video about how to change a Walkman's belt with every bit of information needed to complete the task. The WM-EX line is easily serviceable. Good luck :)

@@soundelegy5987 In North America, the WM-FX series (the tuner-equipped equivalent of the WM-EX line) is far more commonplace. Sony found that in the US and Canada sales penetration was much stronger for tuner-equipped models, while in Europe the tuner-less versions are far more common. Part of this is that in Europe Sony and other vendors would have to make sure that tuner-equipped walkman purchasers were registered for government "radio licensing" schemes, something which doesn't exist in the Americas at this time.

I bought a WM-EX633, and I’m new to the “blank skip” feature. It doesn’t seem to work well with every cassette. I’d say like 20% of the tapes I own don’t work well with it. Is this normal? Was it always a little quirky of a feature?
@soundelegy5987
@soundelegy5987 Жыл бұрын
It's was kind of a gimmick. Blank Skip makes the mechanism automatically fast forward past blank sections of tape. Didn't work that well :)

I haven't tried that new model. The reviews look good but if you can find a Sony Walkman in good conditions from the late 90s then I would go for that.

Honestly bands should just burn a run of CDs, they cost pennies and cardboard sleeves cost next to nothing. Hell MiniDisc is a better option than cassette tapes. Especially as you can't buy new chrome or metal tapes anymore. BTW I had the Aiwa HS-PX347 and Aiwa HS-PX310 in the 90s.

Then it's just digital vs digital. Cassettes or vinyls offer a different kind of sonic experience.

A obvious truth: None, not any cassette will ever sound as good as a CD. You could end up like me: spoiled by the CD to the point cassettes will never do again. 👍👍👍

You talk about the CD as it's a revolutionary format. It's just digital, 0s and 1s. Better have a hard drive or an SSD, CDs are very obsolete. Analogue just has a different kind of sound, it's not better or worse, it's just different.
