The tascam twin tape deck gives the top-tier deck a run for their money by offering flagship specs at a much more affordable price. Traditionally cassette recorders have two types of noise reduction, dolby b and dolby c this deck has neither. It has a noise reduction feature equivalent to Dolby. This allows the use of Metal (Type lV), Chrome (Type ll) or Normal (Type l) Cassettes. It does have a switch on the back for use with 230v European household currents, if you are using it there.
The USB digital out is very good for digitizing cassettes. It is USB 20 compliant with a sampling frequency of 8 khz, 11025 khz, 16 khz, 2205 khz, 32 khz, 441 khz, or 48 khz and a bit depth of either 8 or. The USB outputs a 2 channel stream but the capture rate is only 128 kbps...For higher bit rates such as 192 or higher it’s preferable to use the analog outputs into an audio interface.
Why We Like This:
Usb output for archiving a cassette to an external digital recorder
Nice to have a feature to speed up or slow down tape playback

The sony twin tape deck should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. This is pretty much your last chance to be able to get a cassette deck here, that you can really make decent remixes on the cassette tapes. The W209 Dual Cassette Deck, whenever you try to record something on it, it puts a one second delay space, on your cassette tapes, before it starts recording. It's not loud where you can hear it in the music or room, but if you are near the cassette deck, you can hear it and it's concerning.
This is a good tape deck, high quality when tapes are made in. The heads in this machine give the cassettes an extra punch, and they sound crisper and sharper. It does allow you to connect it to an external device for recording.
Why We Like This:
Adjustable recording volume to pad or trim your mixes, etc

The jvc twin tape deck is capable of outshining several other deck featured in this list in overall features for the price point. The key to extending life in the unit is to cut live. It allows speeding up and slowing down tracks. The drive system is a secondary mover, powered by a belt, which does not put the full force of the motor to tape. The controls are all up front and easy to use.
The unit performs well in play and record function. The rare pitch control feature is not available on many decks and allows speeding up and slowing down tracks. These are all very reliable, as they have never needed even the smallest repair.
