TEAC A-450 The Challenger

If you have prerecorded cassettes, I say very good. If you recorded them, so you have the original source, why you would need to listen a recording when you have the original?

Thanks for the comment ! They are actually recent original cassette release (not dubbed from CD or vinyl) except for the first jazz segment - it came from with the deck from my Japanese sound engineer friend (that’s a live recording he recorded with Japanese jazz artist on set). I got into the idea of listening to tapes again after watching the Japanese movie “Perfect Days” by Wim Wenders 😉

@@vintagejapanhifi_real Sorry, you are correct. By the way, I had an A-350 in 1973 which the band I was in used to record some live shows thanks to the line-in mic jacks. The sound quality was outstanding!
