 JR> Has anybody in here ever seen a walkman type cassette deck with Dolby S?
A few years ago AIWA came out with a real nice cassette player (no
radio) that had Dolby C and B.  Thus, I'd try an upper scale sound
salon to dig into their catalogs and see what's there.
 JR> I'm looking for any leads on who might make one.
 JR> Having chrome tape compatability would also be a major plus as all I
 JR> seem to use for tapes is Maxell XL II's.
That's almost a given now as any player worth it's salt will have 70
microsecond playback EQ.
 JR> I want one to take to the office with me so I can listen to my tapes.
And not hear the phone ring? 
 JR> So far all I have found is ones with dolby B on them.
Panasonic once made a "walkman" style unit that had Dolby B and dBX
type II.  Had I found one, I would have kept my dBX 224 encode/decode
unit. :-)  The separate decoder that was available didn't quite decode
right...  Uh... PPA-1 I think was the model...
 JR> I've hit up the Kenwood, Pioneer, and Sony web pages so far and have not
 JR> found a thing.  Most of the decks I saw on these pages I'm not even sure
 JR> I would trust with one of my tapes!
Never used Pioneer portables, but Kenwood and Sony make me cringe. :)
