Someone who doesn’t have any idea of how a HI-END stack (in a acoustically-conditioned room) does sound. Quality for a casual listener, someone who doesn’t know the meaning of real HI-FI nor HI-END sound. I think that we have to differentiate two categories: And I’m lucky to have more than 50% of all my collection serviced by a professional technician, so I have a pretty good idea of how good or bad they sound. I have almost all of the best models from AIWA and SONY (as well as some from SHARP, Panasonic…) from ’83 to ’93. I’m lucky to have a collection focused on top-end models. However, for the most exigent enthusiasts, there are just a few walkmans that achieves the goal of offering real HI-FI sound. When audio quality is important, I’m happy to say that many walkmans sounds pretty good if loaded with a well recorded tape. Many collectors and cassette fans look for cheap walkmans, but they usually are low end models with also low quaity sound. There were hundreds of different models that go from almost crap to the finest piece of precision electro-mechanic miniature device. That is a common question that arises from time to time inside collector’s circles.
