    Oh sorry, I meant more reel tape not really casettes, but I love the otari mx5050, and the teac 2340sx. Good machines and 1/4" tape is still affordable. PM me if you’d like more tape info, I love to share.

      Ah okay haha. Ive been buying vinyls lately and there’s a lot of people with casette merch too. I didnt remember tape being that amazing but was willing to give it a shot. I don’t have reel to reel space at my place unfortunately. Thanks for putting it out there though!

        Well I’ll say cassette quality can never really be good becaise of the slow speed and narrow width. . But 1/4" tape is about the best analog quality you can get (feasibly cost wise) if you go 15 IPS and half track (1 way play, no flipping).

        If you want good sound for cassettes you can’t beat a Nakamichi deck, best there are.
