My journey:
1985 -> Sony Walkman (yellow).
1988 -> Aiwa portable Compact Cassette player.
2003 -> 3G iPod
2004 -> iPod mini
2005 -> 1G iPod nano
2006 -> 5G iPod

Still own the last two ones.

 

[Zero_99]

• Panasonic Stereo Cassette Player RQ-V65
• Some Sanyo CD Player (Couldn't play CD-R/CD-RW's and skipped like crazy with any slight movement of the player)
• Sony FM/AM Walkman SRF-M32 (Quite small)
• Iomega HipZip MP3 Player (Uses 40MB Iomega Clik! Disks)
• Apple 4G 20GB iPod
• Creative Muvo Micro N200 512MB
• Cowon D2 4GB

- Still have everything except the iPod. Back in the day with the Casette/CD players they all seemed to highlight the Extra Bass feature they all implemented in some way or another. Usually controlled by a switch.

Toshiba KT-AS10 Cassette (not 100% sure it was the model but it's identical)
Actually smaller than the cassette it played.

Sony Discman, pretty sure D121 (around 1988), with bundled side firing turbo bass folding headphones. I remember it sounding fantastic but you know how memories are.

Denon portable CD player (early-mid 90s, bought because it had Burr-Brown op-amp supposedly), with Sennheiser HD420 then Grado SR 60.

Optimus CD3400 (mid 90s) (I actually bought about 30 of those, long story)

Compaq iPAQ PA-2 MP3 players, RadioShack house brand (Koss) headphones 40mm titanium drivers (can't remember model number), KSC35s

Panasonic PCDP with MP3 playback, Sony MDR EX71, KSC75s but really listen mostly to my laptops, sometimes with Turtle Beach USB sound.

iPod Nano, 1 Gig, First Gen (only owned for short time), JVC Marshmallows

Toshiba GigaBeat T400 (Current).

Is that possible? How would the cassette fit inside for playback?

Walky KT-AS10

Click link for one smaller-than-cassette cassette player (at least in one plane). Also a quick Googling shows me that Head-Fi member Pappucho has one.

I had another really cool portable cassette player that was also a stereo recorder, full logic autoreverse as well. I'll try to remember the brand model, I know it wasn't a Sony.

From the early 90s onwards:

1. A Sony Walkman cassette thingybob (20 hours battery life!)

1. Sony CD player (an E something or other.)

1. A Packard Bell Audiodream mp3 player with a whopping 1GB of space - yes, 1GB! Decent enough sound as I recall, but couldn't get to grips with the navigation at all, so I ended up listening to the 1st album 'Bad Company' the whole time as I could NOT figure out how to change albums without either turning it off, pausing it, going back to the BEGINNING of the song again. . . etc etc

1. Sony NW-S706

1. Sony NW-A808

Hmmm Lemme think...

Analogue - too many to mention.. but somewhere I have a really nice Aiwa (really!) Cassette walkman from the early 90's.. I must have had dozens of Cassette walkmans in my time..

Digital..

I have somewhere in a box an old Philips CD Walkman from the 1980's (uses 6 aa batteries).. and another Philips from 20001 which played MP3's..

Then I went Digital..

Neuros - 128 MB - Works fine still
Rio Karma - 20 GB - I'm babying this till it passes gracefully on
Gigabeat F40 - 40GB - daily use.. works great with rockbox, great battery life too..

I bought a 30 GB 4th Gen Ipod Photo for the Car and I never use it, don't like it at all, and then I found an Ipod Video 60 GB that I use for lossless in the car via the Ipod Dock in the Radio
