Of All My Nuggets…

…this one is undoubtedly one of my favorites. Sony was definitely at the top of their design game in the 90s and 00s, not only with Minidisc, but also with portable CD players.

For me, with the N707, it's the color, the design, the tactile feel of the unit. And the sound? Absolute chef's kiss. I can listen to this thing all day and never get burnt out. And of course, it works flawlessly. (Portable MD recorders/players, by their very nature, are much more complicated beasts than portable CD players and more prone to developing problems over years—especially if they've been neglected .)

PSA: If you're not going to use your portable electronics for an extended period and they have removable batteries, remove them.
