) While tapes sound great on this device, I prefer to use a Walkman for all of my listening. br>br>So I looked on eBay. Reverb was my first choice. com. After that, it was a slew of flops. But I had a feeling there was a good used deck out there somewhere. And it's highly likely. I couldn't seem to track it down. br>br>Then I decided that at the very least, I'd get something that came with a warranty and was simple to return. I did some research and watched some videos after reading the reviews. I decided to try it. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow Just wow. My home theater power strip picked up noise on the used decks I tried? This was not the case. It's simple and effective. IT'S SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE. Except for a little tape noise, what I recorded in the deck sounds very much like what I was hearing while recording it when I listen to it through headphones. That's exactly what I was looking for, and it's exactly what I got. I was happy to pay $500 for that. I'm 58 years old, so I'm hoping this unit will outlast me. br>br>I just wish I could go back in time a month and persuade myself to buy this instead of looking at used decks.
Update. br>A few months after purchase, the second deck's ability to rewind the tape was lost. Do not purchase Chinese products. Instead, look on eBay for Japanese NOS. This unit's construction is subpar. Do not purchase.
I have a vintage Yamaha cassette deck that I adore, but the cost of repairs kept rising to the point where I was better off purchasing a brand new deck with a manufacturer's warranty. Vintage decks are cool, but finding replacement parts for them is a royal pain. people who know how these monsters work br>br>While the Tascam lacks some key features from older decks, such as Dolby B, C, and S noise reduction, three-channel audio, and multi-channel audio, the Tascam is still a solid performer. auto-, heads This deck is solid, with features like reverse and Type IV tape recording. At the very least, you can listen to Type IV tapes, which sound fantastic. This feature is not available if you recorded a tape in DBX format. This deck is devoid of them. That will necessitate the use of an encoder. While not as good as Dolby, the noise reduction technology on this deck is adequate. Also, who really requires auto-pilot? What's the harm in going in the opposite direction? With a feature like that, you're more likely to shorten the life of your deck in the first place. The build quality is also excellent, with responsive buttons and a small display on the front that shows real audio meters. The screen also has a Dolby logo near the meters (despite the fact that this deck does not have Dolby), indicating that it was repurposed from an older deck. br>br>I've used the built-in USB output to archive several cassettes and haven't had any issues. I've also used it to listen to cassette tapes and old mixtapes on the go. The sound quality is excellent, and the possibilities are endless if you use an equalizer with it. br>br>I'm hoping this deck lasts me a long time!.
This is a good unit. Used to digitize old tapes and burn CDs. For consistent playback quality, heads must be kept clean. After each tape is finished, I clean them, and the sound quality is excellent. Although it is a little pricey, so far it has been satisfactory.
This unit was purchased to replace a Yamaha dual cassette deck that I bought in 1996. The sound quality on the Tascam is excellent, just as it was on my Yamaha. I've got it hooked up to a high-end stereo receiver. The ability to speed up or slow down tape playback is a nice feature to have. Back in 1996, my Yamaha was $500. 24 years in the making The Tascam 202MKV11 has the same price tag as the Tascam 202MKV11. I don't use the recording feature because I only use the unit for tape playback, so it should last about the same amount of time. As a result, I don't need to check the unit's recording capability. It's difficult to find new cassette players. As a result, I'm thrilled I came across this one!.
I purchased this machine to digitize a box of cassette tapes from the 1970s and 1980s. Airchecks and songs from the radio are the majority of the material. There's also some personal matters. It's a great sound, and it's a great piece of software. What am I supposed to say? It appeals to me. My tapes sound exactly the same as they did the day they were made. Thank you so much, Teac!.
This is ideal for storing old cassette tapes. Copying cassettes to cassettes is a breeze with this device. The digital output is excellent. It was easy to use with Audacity. This was a great buy. It was well worth the money.
