Not everyone likes to purchase deck for their daily usage, but the pyle single well cassette deck would be an anomoly. The FF&Rewind dual cassette deck could've been designed better. It provides very low noise signal and very low wobble or perturbation and good consistent signal level. It has rock steady tape motion and the sound of the transfers seems flawless. 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 unit does work quite well and sounds good. 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.

The teac single well cassette deck is capable of outshining several other deck featured in this list in overall features in its price range. If you are looking for a very good unit that will play both cd's and tapes, this is a wise choice. It's great to find a combo cd/cassette deck. The CD section is amazingly good. It's good for both cd and cassette tapes with easy functions for those needing user friendly features.
The automatic CD dubbing is at a fixed record level and a really loud CD will overload the tape. It comes with the dolby b on, so you have a hard time hearing any hiss at all. There are a couple of terrific features included in this unit. The transport controls have a solid feel and the solenoids must be huge because when you work them they give out with a loud 'ker-chunk.
Why We Like This:
You can really slam the levels and get very little distortion on playback
