A further interesting point is Exposure made a dedicated power supply for the Walkman Pro. I first saw it in the Exposure U.S. price-list circa 1988, when our shop became a dealer. I asked the U.S. distributor, Audiophore, how it sounded. They said it elevated the Pro Walkman's performance; which would include recording and playback. The Exposure power supply probably cost more than all Walkmen models at the time combined. I am in no way an Exposure expert but essentially, this supply was their Hi-Cap equivalent adjusted to 4.5V and included a custom cable.ThomasOK wrote: ↑2020-10-02 17:40Interesting you mention that. I actually compared it to the Nakamichi Dragon a friend and customer owned back in the day. It was very close, with me feeling the WM-D6C was a bit more musical but him liking the Dragon a touch more (considering what he spent on it there may have been some bias). Another interesting point is that the Sony Pro Walkman WM-D6C (to give the full name) is one of only two products from companies other than Linn and Naim that I heard Julian Vereker praise, saying it was a "very good" cassette unit. Interestingly, the Sony is still popular enough that it mostly sells on eBay for the same or more than what it sold for new.
To this day, I have never heard or seen (including photos) this product. I have also never read of anyone hearing it or seen one used.
