Joined the FIIO gang!
I’ve been looking for a Walkman or something similar for a couple months now, I’m just not ready to take a risk on eBay yet, and with no luck trying local shops, I caved and ordered the fiio. The sound is fine, you can hear a hiss on quieter tapes, but I don’t mind at all. I’ve been collecting tapes for a couple years now, and have been using a Sanyo RD5008 deck, but recently the idea of something portable has been really enticing! My fav part about the FIIO is that it easily fits in my backpocket, and the volume knob is HUGE, so I can tune the volume with ease. The knob is on the same side as the audio jack so they can both face outwards. Overall I’m really happy and hope it last for the coming future. I’m still on the lookout for a Walkman, but there’s no rush. Anyways thought I’d share some of my collection as well. I absolutely love streaming, but it’s so fast moving it’s almost like junk food when it comes to consuming music. I constantly save albums to listen to and never end up listening for than 2-3 songs before moving to the next album (having adhd and an addiction to finding new music everyday doesn’t help). I love having something physical I can just hang out with for a second. I’m planning a trip to New York this summer and I’ll definitely be taking this with me.
