    What are your favourite cassette decks from years gone by?

    I saw a thread in General Audio about CD players and for a little while, it went off tobic into favourite cassette decks. I was wondering if we could get it going here instead. I'll start! :D I've had quite a few decks since the 70s. My favourites were the following, in order of like. 1) TEAC...

    Longevity of Popular Type II cassette tapes

    I read a post recently, that stated that Type II tapes degrade over time, and have vastly different recording characteristics than when new. I have quite a hoard of Maxell UDXLII tapes, and some TDK SA\SAX, all used. I was not aware of any significant drop in performance in recording\playback...

    What are the best Type II cassettes?

    As many may know, I love the warm analog sound of cassette tapes. In fact, I often record digital sources to cassette to get that "sound". Perhaps I am just totally nuts!! :eek: It can very well be. :biggrin: What are the best Type II cassettes? My top three are: (1) Denon HD8 (a hybrid...

    Ancient Nakamichi 250 tapes to be transferred / digitized

    [I have to make an edit here: It's a 350, not a 250! Sorry. The 250 was a player only, obviously I'm talking about cassettes that were recorded on this machine, so it's a Nak 350. Sorry for any confusion. I'd change the title if I could get in there, but may not be able to.] I have a good...
