This is a great product, especially for playing / dubbing old cassette tapes.I have a large collection of cassettes which I have recorded myself over the past 30 years. They sound great even today. Very easy to use and record on. I have hitched it up with a Denon PMA 700 AE amplifier, playing through an ADC Sound Shaper 100 Graphic Equaliser. I swear the recent recordings are as good as any Audio CD, if not better, as I have customised the sound to my taste. If you need a dual deck, this is the one to buy.
