About this Blog

Hello everyone,
My name is TheLion. I am an Audiophile and a 'Walkman' collector. I have started this blog for all those who share the same interest. On this blog, I will share my love with the world of Personal Stereos. This is limited only to Personal Stereos and Minidisc Players and maybe some other unique gadgets. The common rule with all those Personal Stereos is their State-of-the-Art; High-Quality Sound, Excellent build and Unique design - in other words, Personal Hi-Fidelity Analog music players for the soulful man. The main interest (but not limited to) in Walkmans is AIWA Personal Stereos from their early years' product line from 1984 to 1991. The main interest in Minidiscs (but not limited to) is Sharp Minidiscs. I will post pictures of rare Walkmans and Minidiscs with information. Thank God for making all this possible, I hope you all will enjoy my blog.
Note: I started this blog in 2011 to offer a unique perspective for educational purposes in the world of personal Stereo. I will gladly share most of the info regarding the gadgets displayed on this blog. However, Since this blog consumes a lot of time and great efforts to assemble and maintain as current as possible, I do not get paid or gain (thru advertisement) any money to do so. Hence, I do it in my free time. Therefore, If you enjoy this one of a kind comprehensive blog Please consider a nice donation according to your enjoyment of this blog. your kind support will surely make this blog alive & Kick for years to come, it will also entitle you to a free technical support ie; questions, inquiries, and requests. please drop me a line and I'll be happy to assist ThePersonalHiFi@Gmail.com. Thank you TheLion, September 2017.

AIWA HS-P5 / HS-P05


HS-P5 / HS-P05 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




1983 AIWA does it again: 
the "concealable" ultra-compact cassette player that makes 
the others seem bulky by comparison!
It's HS-P05: the world's lightest most compact stereo cassette player. Weighing just 230g with batteries, it literally fits in your pocket, yet delivers beautiful sound performance in real 2-channel stereo. Best of all, you'll also have the option of adding on to your system with a wide range of high-quality AIWA accessories.

Smallest of the small
A miracle of miniaturization, the HS-P05 brings you an exciting performance from a cabinet measuring less than 212cm (1 inch) in thickness. And at only 230g (8.1 oz) it's the world's reigning featherweight champion!


Convenient operation controls
Except for STOP, controls have all been located on top of the housing, so you can easily perform tape operation modes — including fast forward, rewind etc.— with the unit in the palm of your hand. 
AIWA also gives you the convenience of cue/review: that means you can advance or rewind the tape to search out the next tune (or the previous one) without having to switch from the PLAY mode.


Comfortable in-ear stereo headphones
So light you'll hardly know they're in place, the in-ear style stereo headphones (included as standard equipment) deliver amazing performance. High sensitivity drivers of samarium cobalt provide clear, dynamic sound without adding weight.

Long battery life
For longer use between battery changes, the HS-P05 gives up to 12 hours playback from two Alkaline "AAA" (SUM-4) penlight batteries. Connect the optional AC adapter and you can enjoy even more economical use from AC house current.
