janeheartsvinyl Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 After building a small collection of cassettes over the last few years (I work in a few different venues and they're an affordable/portable way to support touring bands or bands I like that isn't a t-shirt) I decided to start looking for my very own walkman or portable cassette player. Anyway I finally found this one yesterday at a thrift store and despite it looking like a piece of garbage it works great! I think I'll jazz it up with some stickers or something. Those of you who take your cassettes on the go, what do you use? Sprague Dawley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I have a dual Technics deck that allows me to dub cassettes, but I haven't used the dubbing part yet. So I just listen to my tapes on the deck through my stereo speakers while I play video games or study. Funny thing is, I have such a wide variety of tapes now, I just mainly listen to cassettes. For me, they are less of a hassle to play then putting an LP on my turntable. (I don't have a CD deck hooked up yet, or I would also listen to CDs as well) janeheartsvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprague Dawley Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) I'm old. I started on cass walkmans in the mid 80's. Had a listen to my daughters iPod 10 years ago to see if I should get with the program but it was just a tinpot squawk. No thank you. Continued on with cass walkmans. Some MEAT in your music. had about 3 of these over the last 20 years: Sony WM FX-888. Production ceased in 2003. if you can find one of these you are SORTED. mine all eventually broke. usually its either the auto reverse that fucks them or the jack hole gets loose and the sound cuts out intermittently (it's back! oh its gone) and proceeds to drive you batshit insane. I love these things so much that would persevere for months walking/commuting keeping one finger pushing against the phones input before eventually crying no mas. Currently using Sony WM-EX900. Stone cold killer. Daftly though, the volume only has 3 default settings.: -Mildly pleasant. -Loud. -Skullfuckingly loud.

Jetboy Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I just play my tapes on my Nakamichi deck, ideally I'd love a Sony WM-D6C but im not dropping 400 on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 As of right now I got this hooked up to my stereo and about 5 fucked up decks in my garage. http://www.zzounds.com/item--IONTAPE2PC?siid=58259&-_x7dATOnArAg-EkSt2BLpRoCZj3w_wcB= Sprague Dawley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
