Is this Toshiba Aurex tape player any good? It sure is cheap.
no one has made good quality tape heads or mechanisms for >20 years. every new tape deck on the market is cheap chinese trash, no matter what brand is slapped on it.
I don't know anything about that player. But if it's a tape player I can say with 100% certainty that it's a waste of money.Like, what's this for? You're going to be taking a walk and instead of listening to high-quality audio from spotify you're going to listen to a degraded audio cassette? Like, why?I can maybe understand getting a cheapie used tape player on ebay or at a garage sale, just to give yourself the ability to play tapes you get at shows (is that still a thing? or is even that a dated concept?)But I don't see the point in buying a new cassette player.
>>130703957>wireless cassette playerwtf
>>130703957Isn't it the only surviving line of cassette player mechanisms left in China, and they just sell it with different brands?
>>130704307CDs are outdated too and people still buy those instead of vinyls and spotify
>>130705671cd has the best sound, retard.
>>130704307I use tapes to rip music from Amazon Music. It's fun. I use Type II cassettes with Dolby C on my top end Kyocera 801 deck. Tapes still sound great if recorded properly.
>>130705735No it doesn’t vinyl does
>>130705823Unless you're listening in an anechoic chamber, vinyl, CDs, and tapes are all going to do just fine.
>>130705823Read some audiophile reviews from the 80s.
>>130703957For less than the cost of a modern portable tape deck, you can go on down to your local goodwill and buy a late 80s sony dual tape deck which you will enjoy much more
You're going to use this one fucking time for th novelty then never again
>>130706589I bought up a bunch of Sony Professional Walkmans, the kinds with metal and Dolby C capability, like 10+ years ago, and now they're worth a mint. You can't buy a new deck like the old ones. I have this Tascam unit that I can program with the counter, it winds and rewinds at a frighteningly fast speed. I don't trust it for wear and tear and want to sell it. My old Kyocera component deck is all I need for a non-portable.>>130706630Buzz off, Babel Media.
>>130704326it has bluetooth headphone capability, that's what they mean by it
>>130703957It might help get you laid, but only if you're already attractive.
>>130705823>vinyl doesyeah, if you have>amazing hi-fi setup>brand new needle>brand new recordthen, yes. it's the best quality. but after the first play, it's always gonna degrade in quality.
