I could never hope to cover all the models, so I'm featuring some of my favourites. The links below will give you professional opinions and in-depth reviews on many, many more.

FAQs
Q) Why two intros?
A) One is an intro, and the other is a transition...just like this

Q) Why don't they use 3D Printing to create a new centre gear for the DD walkman range
A) Too thin, too weak - not possible. Check the forums linked above for more info.
Corrections
1) The WM-EX900 does have limited functionality without a remote. The machine has a single button that you can tap once to play or stop. Double-tap to FF, Triple Tap to REW and hold to play the other side.
2) The new brass centre gear for the DD range is a prototype - the finished version will be plastic.
