If you want to get the best get a Tandberg 3014A. Built to last. If you want an autoreverse get something else. But sound quality will be compromised. Like all cassette decks a Tandberg will need some shop time. I got a good one here 4 years ago no lemon. I bought another used one and it was nothing but trouble. I clean and demagnetize after before recording Bulk erase if using a used tape. I set azimith, bias and record current per manual. Then listen. If I hear any difference I adjust and listen again. If I cant get it right with a used tape I junk the tape. Most of the time if I adjust the input to the same volume level of source its the best level then listen carefully.Dont get a cassette deck that auto adjusts anything. What works in the Lab does not always work in the real world every time. Anyway if you want convenience. Get A Nak auto reverse
chosing a cassette deck
Anyone still using casstte decks? I'm looking for one with " auto reverse " but I am noticing a bit of a difference. I had a nice Pioneer dual deck that finally burnt up on me. The nice thing about this deck is that it would play both sides of the tape when in auto reverse and then stop.
I have tried a Denon and a Sony but both play the tape contiuosly for hours when on auto reverse. Any one have another brand that only plays once around when in auto reverse? I require a dual deck as I still burn tapes.
