@russ69 yeah, cassettes can be a pain sometimes. But, when they are in good playable condition, on a good cassette deck, they sound awesome.
ive seen lots of realistic audio equipment in goodwills and other thrift stores. so i guess i have always thought of it to be a cheapo brand. 

Is their vintage stuff worth checking out?
@dweller I went to cassettedeck.org and read about the TA2090 - those things are really nice! did you get yours new in the 80s?
@grannyring @tablejockey @tooblue 

thanks guys. I really want a Nakamichi LX-5. Used to have one, but it broke and the repair shop couldn't fix it!
@dweller I just looked up the TA2090; that is a nice looking deck! do you have one?
@atmasphere wow, didnt know that. Ill take a close look at the next Nak I find. 


I love it how all the idiots on here are like "Cassettes? are you serious? Reel to reel is far better." 

I never said anything about reel-to-reel. I said CASSETTES. talk about those clunky machines elsewhere.
@ricmci thanks. yeah, I have a Nakamichi LX5 at a repair shop right now, and I am really exited to get it back. I also found a JVC TW-330 cassette deck at a throft store for $15. I brought it home, and deck B (the recording deck) played tapes too fast. Thats at the shop now too.

I also found a Sansui A-5 amplifier at a Goodwill. $4. SOunded really great. Unfortunately, I go to turn it on one day, and nothing happened. fuses were fine. Didnt know what it was. That is also at the shop.
@r27y8u92 I forgot to mention that. I recently got a brand new Tascam CD-a580 that was a cassette player and CD player, and can actually take audio from CDs and CTs and put it on a flash drive (pretty cool). I don't really use the Tascam as my main cassette deck, but it does sound very good (for CDs too).
