Hi Guys:
I had an Old Yamaha KX-230 not a bad deck for the asking coin, two motor transport, variable bias fine tuning, Dolby HXpro, B & C noise reduction as well as remote control. It was actually quite good as cassette decks go. I left it at a second hand HiFi dealers to be sold on consignment. The dealer went bust and I lost the deck. To be honest I don’t really care as I never got on with cassette tapes and it’s the one music format that never really peaked my interest.
I had access to some pretty high-end decks through work and colleagues but I never really got on with the whole tape thing. Even though I used good quality chrome tapes and always stored them properly, after a couple of years the tapes always suffered HF loss and dropouts. Once the price of a computer CD recorder dropped to the same price of a reasonable cassette deck, that was it for me, cassettes were history.
