Anyone been using this cassette deck? I might make an offer on a package deal that includes this deck and was wondering if it would be worth hanging on to, seeing as I already have a working Aiwa AD-F770 and a non-working Pioneer CT-F1000 waiting in the wings. The frequency response specs aren't great (30-16khz +/- 3db with CrO2 tape), but the other specs are good... specs don't always tell the whole story.
So, does this deck sound better than specs would indicate?
