---still keeping a Cassette deck ?
One must consider a cassette deck sounds dull and noisy, the format outdate...bla,bla,bal...
This is only because one has never audit an good cassette deck, if he/she/it did, no such question will put forward!!
Trust me!!!

T72bM,

I think you mean that Cassette's sound like LPs, right ? So the best way to backup a LP is using a top model of Cassette Deck. Correct me if I am wrong.

邊個比一部NAKAMICHI 1000ZXL我就好啦.

Use this one to record radio, LP many years ago.

Oh yes, if one get a good quality cassette deck and good alignment, it sound amazingly good. The top rated vintage Akai deck is really good while their Super GX head is virtually undestructable. My another Nakamichi CR-2 is also very good too. I played back my tape while recording in 1980's, and those oldies is still amazingly good too. Analog still rule.

Oh, if my house is big enough, my dream deck is.... Akai 747.... wow, sound really interesting and fascinating.

cpu8088 hing,

Nakamichi 582z is very handsome wow... I'm so admire you.

Cheers :-)

erictang hing,

GX-F95 is TOTL of Akai deck... How's the sound quality from it? Any memories to share?

What it the reason still keeping a Cassette deck ?
--------------------------------------------------
I do keep one (not the vintage ones the guys shown here) and I don't use it any more. Not sure about why still keeping the casette deck. Well, it occupies some space, however I think it is quite cruel to dump your 10 to 20 year-old friends when they still in good shape and servicable?

PS: at times I will switch on the 'monitor mode' of my amp while playing the cd so that I can watch the deck's fluorescence meter going up and down (what a eerie habit :))

I throw away all the cassette tapes, but still keep a Akai first Generation GX Head GXC-750D Deck (fitted with an original new GX Head)in perfect conditions.

Hi 254mm,

Long time no see. Talking about cassette deck, I can still recall my brother bought a Technics cassette deck about twenty-ish years ago. What a fascinating moment when a tape was played in the dark with the FL meter popping up and down, it seemed that the deck was alive to me (spooky~~). And the deck compartment would never spring out the tape like most of my friend's decks when you pressed the 'eject' button; as it used hydraulic mechanism to unload the tape. That Technics was a 2-head deck and I could not instantly monitor the record level; of which later to be found out several dB under in each channel. At that time my dream deck was the Nakamichi Dragon which costed you a hell bunch of money, and of course I never had one.

My GX-C750D is a Three Head Deck with instant replay after recording. So the sound can adjusted during recording to optimize the sound effect. Mine is in perfect condirtions still.
