sizzling ! 【Working】SONY MD Walkman MZ-E520 Silver

【Functionally Tested / Main Unit Only】

Released in February 2004, the MZ-E520 is the culmination of SONY's portable MD player "E series," a late-stage model.
The charm of this unit lies in its rich mid-low range and lustrous sound. While inheriting the clear sound of its predecessor, the E510, it adds density and an enveloping quality, resulting in a higher-grade sound.

It features a powerful mid-range presence that brings vocals closer, and a well-balanced, extended high range. Regardless of the music genre, it's tuned for relaxing listening over extended periods.

Playback function is outstanding. Functionality has been confirmed with both gum batteries and AA batteries.
The exterior shows several minor scratches; please check the images for details on fine scratches.

Combined with wired earphones, experience the "depth" of the E520's sound.
This is a masterpiece from the final stage of the E series, packed with SONY's dedication.

Before dispatch, we will re-confirm the operation and pack it carefully.
Immediate purchase is welcome.

※Price is reduced by 100 yen daily. Listing will end once the minimum price is reached.

【Trivia】※Personal opinion~
✦ SONY E series (E505/E510/E520)
Each has its own personality, and the sound characteristics are clearly different.
•MZ-E505 (Released in 2002)
　　　　　　　　　　　※Analog amplifier
The sound contour is solid, and while it has high resolution, the overall sound quality is somewhat hard, with a lively character prominent. Suitable for those who prefer sharp and speedy sound.
•MZ-E510 (Released in 2003)
　　　　　　　　　　※Digital amplifier / 1st generation
Refining the roughness of the E505, its charm lies in its transparency and balance, allowing the sound to pass through to the finest details. It has an extended mid-high range, a clear sound field, and provides a natural listening experience. It's also fatigue-resistant for extended listening.
•MZ-E520 (Released in 2004)
　　　　　　　　　　※Digital amplifier / 2nd generation
This final model in the series adds thickness and luster to the mid-low range, shifting towards a more "listenable" sound. Each note has a solid presence, and the vocal range expression is particularly rich. The overall sound is characterized by its "density".

E505, E510, E520—because each has its own exclusive character, it might be fun to own every three and compare their differences. Discovering your favorite sound by comparing their individual "flavors" is a luxurious experience.
