Yeah... a lot of people lose their money selling their gear at ridiculously low prices while companies laugh and dance all night long.
I see ZX2, WM-1A/Z sell for $500-$700 lower than original price past couple of months of their release. Even now it’s the same thing.
But I do notice their lower end retain their price somewhat losing only a max. of $200-$300.
Guess the majority who want the higher end, buy it within 1 year of its launch. I don’t see how anyone would spend $1000 above for a product that can’t be serviced and used a little before its shelf life,
A risk one has to take buying expensive walkmans but ca t be said of Rolexs’.

Exactly. Very well put. People look at me like I’m absolutely insane when they ask how much I’ve “invested” into my home setup. Some of them wouldn’t spend that kind of money on a car, let alone a “stereo”. When I go home, I can call up anyone I want, I have them sing for me like I’m a sultan. But see, this is what makes ME happy. Someone else may not understand the want for high end audio. He price tag of a WM1A, considering what it gives you on an

Investment loss is sour grapes for anyone. And that will be bad life experience which shouldn’t happen for anyone.
So please Sony, take back your WM Walkman.
I like my grapes sweet and seedless.

What many may not realize is that the Sony 1Z/1A Walkmans provide something that's actually not quantifiable in monetary terms. For us owners, who were willing to take the risk, they provided life experiences which are irreplaceable. That's what the players are about. So any petty talk of investment loss is simply sour grapes.

Can anyone recommend a very plush aftermarket carrying case that fits the wm1 well? I’m looking for one that is extremely plush. Not one that fits the unit like a glove, but more like a case for storing the unit. Lowepro? Anything nicer?

I just got the Massdrop Sennheiser HD 6XX, Was listening to my 1A single ended. Is it worth it to get a balanced 2.5mm balanced cable for it? I'm using the Fiio F9 pro with the MEE 2.5mm cable and 4.4mm adapter for my daily commute and I am really enjoying them. Only about 60 hours in balanced. 10 single ended.
