TEAC W-1200B Dual Cassette Deck with Recorder with USB Pitch Control Karaoke-Mic-in and Remote

The glory days of stereo cassette decks (three heads, dual capstans, Dolby B/C NR, etc) are long over. That said, this deck seems to follow TEAC's reputation as being a well built machine that performs as its specifications describe. I plan to use it primarily to digitize my cassette collection for use on a computer. While I miss some of the bells and whistles of previous generation machines, this deck is about as good as it gets today and should meet my present needs.

great

It's early yet to see if this unit will have any longevity without issues, but when I got everything all hooked-up to the system I was surprised at the fidelity. Reviews have been mixed pro and con, maybe I got a good one?I have many tapes all recorded on an old Nakamichi that keeps going to the shop for more repairs being 30 years old.This Teac W-1200 has a year warranty on parts, 90 days labor, save the box in case. If it blows-up within 2 months I can return for a exchange or refund.Watched a YouTube video of a fellow doing some testing on the published specs and it turned out to be better than factory.Have 6 hours on it so far and sounds as good as the Nakamichi, maybe better.C 90s have been working good.

I have over three hundred cassette tapes sitting in a drawer, and have not been able to play them because I could not fine a decent quality unit. My friend writes me and says how about this one, with a link.I used to own a TEAC reel-to-reel, and purchased it. After I plugged it in and hooked it up, suddenly there were all the tapes sounding exactly like the day I recorded them, bright, brilliant, crisp.It's a dual deck, and is not auto-reverse, nor does it switch from one deck to the other deck at the end of a tape. But having that sound quality is worth having to get up and push another button.One other thing, they say 90 minute tapes are not recommended, but I have all 90 minute tapes and have not encountered a problem.No regrets!

This item is well worth the extra pennies!Playing my old tapes does sounds great to hear!

The media could not be loaded. This unit puts out incredible sound. I really love just about everything about this unit. I only have one complaint. It only has one input and one output. Not an issue if you have an amplifier or powered speakers,or if like me, you only need one for the record player. But if you have any other unit or streaming device, you will need a way to switch between them. Again, for me it’s not an issue but it may be to some.
