[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 1047735, member: 243342"] Since I was little, I always wanted a big cassette player, something like [URL='http://rw6ase.narod.ru/00/mg_ks/majak120s.html']Mayak 120[/URL] or [URL='http://rw6ase.narod.ru/00/mg_ks/majak232.html']Mayak 232[/URL]. I have been looking at buying these but a) they are a little expensive (unless I find someone on Avito - Russian Gumtree - to post it to UK) and b) it won't bloody fit in my cabinet as it's not the standard "Hi Fi" width (46cm wide). So, since I have a Technics amp, it's only appropriate that I go with a Technics tape player. It doesn't need to be anything fancy but I would like the following characteristics: 1) I want to *see* the tape. A lot of newer Technics units bury the tape deep inside and you can barely see it through the little window. 2) Must have VU meters of some sort - most do, anyway. 3) Needs to have decent noise reduction (Dolby B or C). 4) Needs to be black/dark. 5) Needs to be cheap. I don't want to spend more than £70-£80 including delivery. Er... that's pretty much it. I don't have a lot of tapes to play already, so it will mostly be my own recordings. The idea will be to record my rare/expensive vinyls on tape and play them back with similar-ish analogue properties. The closest one to my specs I've found so far is Technics RS-BX626 but other models considered. [/QUOTE]
