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.

    Is the Kenwood CP-R3 Metal or Plastic? Does it feel cheap?
    I have the chance to buy one, but before I do I'd like to know.

    Hi,
    Thanks for visiting the Personal HiFi Blog.

    The Kenwood CP-R3 exterior is made only from plastic. most of the Personal stereo at that time were made out of plastic. However, The CP-R3 internals is made from metal. it has some cheap feel to it but it has top features that compensate for that. also, the sound is excellent and crisp so if you want to enjoy its sound I recommend you to go for it. Regards. TheLion

    The CP-505 and CP-707 are similar. The only thing I can see is the 505 has 2 phone jacks, where the 707 has one as a mic.

      Thank you for visiting The Personal HiFi Site.

      Well, not quite, The CP-505 is a radio/tape player, while the CP-707 is a radio/tape/recorder. Many models use the same master prototype built, and then they just omit certain features, like the tuner or recording, etc. So in the case of the CP-505, they omit the recording; now they end up with a microphone socket, but since they don't have the recording feature anymore, they use the mic socket as an extra headphone socket. Also, I think the CP-707 comes bundled with the AC-100, which has 2 AAA batteries and a charger. The CP-505 does not.
      Cheers.
