Pyle high end Cassette Deck

Buy on Amazon

The pyle high end cassette deck's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. This deck lacks Dolby and HX Pro processing that are commonplace in Japanese-designed decks, however Pyle's generic noise-reduction button works fine. It plays and records very well, no problems. It fits right with the present audio sound system. There's an included jumper that's shown on the diagram, between the recorder and a "PA" unit with no clue left as to what it does. The micro replacement from the last position of where the tape sits adjacent to the last position before the FF&Rewind helps from 'tape magnetic transfer' as heard on the vocal bridge in Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love.

It will not stop automatic between songs fast forward. This is a very pleasant surprise.

• Purpose fluorescent display for ease of use
