A NAK  cassette deck ,all there decks were great.Hardon Karman made good ones to.Come on you guys ,they were good.I still have alot of cassettes  I play.Prerecorded or one i made from albums.Cheap tapes played on a cheap cassettes  deck sound like crap. True just like a cheap turntable ,and cheap speakers  sound like crap.i recorded back when i was a teenager  ,but the funny think was i always read Stereo Review  and kept up grading my equipment. I have done alot of side by side comparisons. My first really good turntable was a Technics SL 1350 with a Shure 100 cart I was 22 it cost me $379.i never had the money to buy state of art stuff.Raising a family and never made lots of money to burn.Im 68 now my system costs like $10,000 ,some closeout stuff ,but to me its Great.
I'm a cassettes  collector to have about  2,000 and 10 cassette decks Nacks,Pioneer,Harmon Kardon and others.
