QUOTE(terradrive @ May 4 2025, 07:20 AM) casette is only good to listen if you have one of those hifi cassette decks that can output higher quality sound. I had one last time, forgot which brand already iinm it was sansui, the sound quality is night and day vs normal casette players. Very similar to this one  Still don't like the lower volume of cassette which make listening experience numb.. but every format exist is to fix or improve issue face by previous format For now vinyl, cassette and CD more like novelty items |

QUOTE(Taikor.Taikun @ May 4 2025, 07:36 AM) Ppl in those day no internet would hog the casette players listening to their favourite songs. Have to adjust n roll back the reels frequently. Can even copy the contents from tape to tapes as backups or disteibute to frens my mum bought this Sharp player in 1989. this model have Synchro Dubbing mode.  https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/attachm...02&d=1420117801 |
