I have recently acquired two new beauties for my collection. Both them are pretty rare and desirable: it's the HS-PL50, the lesser brother of the magnificient PX505, the top-of-the-line player back in '90.
This player is almost identical but whthout the Dolby C feature. Considering that so many users do not use Dolby C commonly in their walkmans (mainly because of the complex compatiblity of it) that leads normally in a mudded highs when playing.
So the PL50, that was a cheaper model was probably much more interesting for many...

It features many advanced features: alfa transport, HX amprphous head, DSL, BBE...

IT's a rare model to find in eBay, and when it appears, normally is the black one, in matte anodized aluminum.

But I was twice lucky, because I also got a white one, which I guess it's the rarest of all them:

It's in pretty good condition, but there are still some scratches here and there.

Here you can see the difference between the PL50 and his big brother, the PX505. Both are some of the most styilish walkmans ever made, indeed!

But the silver pair is probably the rarest!

And here you can see what's probably the 1st photo of full series of the PL50 ever found in the whole Internet:

PX 505 is Exquisite.

 

It is the first ever walkman I feel like hunting for.
