After some years since I’ve published my latest walkman review, the PX101, I’m finally back with a new review. I know some of you were waiting for new content but my work, family and kids didn’t let me have the time to face the effort. Also I became more and more interested in where are […]
After some time without publishing anything about walkmans, I’m back with some news: I have recently acquired which is probably the smallest walkman ever made: the SONY WM-R707. This model has the same external size as the mythical WM-701C but with the addition of a recording circuit in the same form factor (which is an […]
If you don’t know it, Stereo2go es the world’s biggest forum dedicated to walkmans and boomboxes since many years. That was thank to Paul a boombox and walkman lover that lives in the US and started it in the early 2000. I joined it back in mid 2010 and have learned a lot thanks to […]
I’m excited to share you a story of passion and bravery. Passion for cassettes, walkmans and music. Bravery for wanting to do something that he never did before: being a DJ but with cassettes and walkmans.

But SONY used one of them as a start point to develop what will […]
Once I received my ‘Super-DC2’ from Dr Walkman recently, I had the idea to start a series of videos showing the real difference between some walkmans and other players, like I did with the turntable versus CD. In this video you can hear the real difference between a CD played in a good Discman versus […]
That is a common question that arises from time to time inside collector’s circles. There were hundreds of different models that go from almost crap to the finest piece of precision electro-mechanic miniature device. But… which ones sound best? Read the new article here: Which walkmans sound best? Hope you like it. Leave your comments […]
Some years ago I knew about a guy that seemed to me that knew very well how to service a walkman. He is known as ‘Dr Walkman‘. It was actually in Stereo2go forum where I met him. I contacted him personally and wanted him to service and upgrade my D6C to make some sort of ‘Super-D6C’. I was […]
We love walkmans, and headphones are an important factor for truly enjoying them. Choosing the right headphones can be a difference like night and day. Your walkman can be excellent as a source but a wrong headphone can make you hear not-so-good (or actually bad) sound. So, which ones are better? Don’t miss my latest […]
