I usually listen to all the cassette tapes (entirely) I advertise on either Tascam or Nakamichi equipment but while testing this cassette player (on both playback and record), in addition to the “acceptable” audio quality, I was very impressed by facilities it offers the user.
This is a consumer grade machine (but with a lot of bells & whistles) so if you are looking for a hi-end machine, don’t consider this machine – Nakamichi or the Tascam 202MKVIII (USB) are much better choices but for “everyday use” where you just want to play or transfer some old cassette tapes, this will do the trick for you.
I am not intending to berate this machine, just being realistic – this is a consumer machine with lots of extras but it is not in the professional class!
I hear you … why on earth would someone want to listen to tape, let alone cassettes!
It’s analog! Not clean, sterile digital audio
Old family history recordings for transfer to a more stable media such as CDr or solid state media. Many many people have these old recordings made way back in the day when cassette tape was the common form of making your own recordings.
Old musicians never die, they just dream of those gigs way back in the past and how things used to be. Again, it was extremely common for recordings (both 4 track and 2 track) to be made to cassette tapes. Now they have boxes of these tapes but nothing to play or transfer them with.
So most of the recording types mentioned above have sentimental connections to the tape owner. If you have a really valued old commercial cassette prerecorded tape that you want to move across to other media, I would strongly suggest a semi or professional grade machine such as those from Nakamichi or Tascam (the professional division of Teac)
Some diehards use cassette tape to record still, but I don’t find many people wanting to do this – if anything, recording to reel to reel is a very cool thing to do particularly if the machine is capable of tape looping or has 2 or more RW heads for analog reverb etc
So, this is a great little cassette machine to lift the audio off your old cassettes and store/play them on a more “modern” media format.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE:
While this machine is very capable of playing your old cassettes, it is VERY IMPORTANT that your cassette tapes are in “useable” condition. The lubricant must still exist, the head pad must not have fallen off! and of course, the tape must not be physically damaged/twisted/etc
