Sony TCM-200DV Dictaphone
Advantages: Takes regular sized audio cassettes, double-time recording, inexpensive model Disadvantages: Needs to be used close to sound-source, a bit bulky for some tastes
...within minutes. The Sony TCM-200DV Cassette-Corder (or 'dictaphone' to you and me) is a fairly basic model compared to some products on the market - but it does what it says on the tin and it does it to a perfectly acceptable standard.
The machine is silver (with a charcoal grey back panel and battery compartment) and weighs in at 171g - it's roughly the same size as a cassette-playing personal stereo (gosh, that sounds almost Jurassic now doesn't ... ...a really good machine. Plus, Sony is a brand I tend to associate as trustworthy when it comes to audio equipment.
This machine is one of the cheapest on the market - retailing at around 25 GBP. I've had mine for a few years now and it is still in perfect working order (and it comes with a 1 year warranty). I don't know where mine came from (as it was a gift) but I know it's available from Argos as well as numerous online vendors. ...

-------------------Two in one------------------
Advantages: Nice shape and easy to use Disadvantages: Battery consumer, weighty
I was looking for a best Walkman. I check many but could not find a desired one. One day I saw WM-FX193 when I was in my friend's home I ask about it and he told me its qualities. Its look did not impress me because I wanted a dashing look. Well when I learn its qualities I could not change my mind and I was forced to buy it. Although I don't like its outlook but working wise it is best and it will be good if you say that it is 2 in 1 Walkman.
You ... ...not only cassette player but also it has a built in radio. It dimensions are 8.9 X 3.8 X 11.9 cm. I think it is the compact size for a Walkman, but I am not satisfied with its weight it is so much weighty that if it is in your pocket it can hang it or if it is hanging with your belt and you run it can be fall down. I mean to say that is weight is almost 250g. Keeping in view this thing I will recommend a digital MP3 player because of his light weight.

Sony TCM-20DV
Advantages: Variable recording time, mains compatible Disadvantages: No tape counter
I paid about £35 for this cassette recorder, which may be better described as a dictating machine.
The machine is attractively packaged, having a black and silver case and weighs about 275g. It measures approx 11cm by 4cm by 9cm, taking a standard cassette size, as opposed to the micro ones. This should mean that the overall quality is better but you pay for the size and bulk of the thing. It's as heavy, and the same size, as your average Walkman.
... ...sliding switch on the front to vary the recording time gives 'Normal' and 'Double', effectively doubling the amount of recording time you can use. The microphone is a built-in electret condenser mic and is mono. Again, this does the job as an effective dictating machine but not alot else.
The Record button is at the side but above the other buttons and is coloured red. As you might expect, it's a one-touch operation to record. The Stop button is ...

Walkman's Outdated? I Think Not!
Advantages: Excellent Recording Quality Disadvantages: Low Batter Life
Not everyone needs a walkman nowadays. It’s true that cassettes are completely out of date. CD’s, mini discs, and MP3 players have taken over as the most modern media type. Hence one may ask why you would want to buy this supposedly out of date hardware. Well the answer is simple, it offers enhanced detail recording for brilliant recording quality. There are not many mini-disc or MP3 players that offer the same amount of recording quality. I as a ... ...college lectures to listen and make notes later on. Good quality playback is essential for this.
The walkman has many functions. It features an auto-reverse tape system which means that you don’t have to waste time fondling with the system trying to turn your tape over. You can listen constantly to the same tape. For old tapes this is essential, I used to hate changing them over for the second part of the album. Now I don’t have to. Also there are ...
