"Great Cassette deck for the money"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Excellent product but it needs a headphone jack
Sound
The sound is great - I am using it to transfer Cassette tapes we use in church to my TASCAM hard disk recorder so I can play them from the recorder or transfer them to CD. I am doing it this way rather than direct to the computer because I read another review that said that the transfer process would lower the pitch by half a tone. I didn't have time to test this so I am not taking a chance.
Features
The one thing the deck doesn't have is a headphone output. I really miss that - you only have the level display to go by when you are recording on the Cassette
Ease of Use
Very easy to use
Quality
Quality is actually better than I thought it would be
