Long time hifi dabbler but mainly a serial streamer these. I have a lovely old Technics SL1200 Turntable and a nice old Marantz CDP that I run through a Modern Marantz amp (PM6006).
I also have a cassette player in my car and it would be nice to make use of it, especially if I can record some of my nicer vinyl collection.
Can anyone recommend a few basics to keep an eye out for? I know next to nothing about cassettes other than I messed around with them in the 90s.
Is a three head player really better than two? (What’s the difference?)
What type of cassettes should I record onto? (Metal etc)
Will I be able to take an aux line in from my amp to the recorder? (for recording from Spotify etc)
What kind of money should I be spending?
I’ve seen some early Technics RS decks with pretty analogue pointy level things (M205 I think) that would look lovely paired with my TT, but I have no idea I’d theyd be any good. Happy to consider a marantz or others, just not JVC.. don’t ask.
