I’ve recently found a nice, unknown gem: Ana[dia]log Youtube channel. That’s a channel about dialog of analog music reproduction, which is how the author calls it. It covers many different aspects about analog audio, like vinyl, turntables, cassettes, R2R and even walkmans recently. And that’s exactly the video I wanted to show you:   I […]

WE’RE DISCONTINUING THE ELBOW PROJECT. The product is not coming to market, ever. Due to many reasons – financial, technical, personal – this is our final decision. […]

Past saturday I went to Cara B Barcelona (view in Maps) to relive the cassette sound. I’ve put my cup and became CJ Walkman Archive for one night, and played with cassettes and walkmans! The pub was bigger than the previous one I’ve went to and the sound was also much better. Because of monday being holidays, there came […]

Yes, they […]

I’ve found via Renzgi at Stereo2go forums that the famous very first version of the SONY TPS-L2 ‘guys & dolls’ is shown at Pawn Stars TV show. Looks that it’s still for sale in their shop: https://gspawn.com/1979-sony-walkman-stereo-cassette-player-tps-l2-guys-dolls-version/ I’m surprised that these units go for such a high price. Gosh! 1200$ is a lot of money for […]

I must confess reading this article made me think I must be an important person… or at least I have a somewhat relevant website. None of them are true, but I bet the latter is closer. Yes, The Hollywood Reporter published an article and they made several references as “according to Walkman-Archive…”. Gosh! If someone told me […]
