The Morning After: Sony made a $3,700 Walkman

Two ultra-high-end Walkman mp3 players have been released bySony. The $3,700 NW-WM1ZM2 combines an S-Master HX digital amplifier with "fine-tuned" capacitors, thick Kimber Kable (to link the amplifier to the headphone jack) and a 99.99 percent purity of gold. It will have a lot of space. It's definitely true.

The NW-WM1AM2 is a lower cost model that has the same functions as the ZM2, but in an aluminum alloy body with a low resistance oxygen-free copper cable. You'll have to use 128 gigabytes of space. That price, at that time.

The Walkman models are now on sale.

The person is Mat Smith.
