I'll have to have a look at my B&W DM2a speakers.
Just been given a cassette deck (Sansui something-or-other, don't know until I go and get it). Perhaps I should have gone back to cassettes sooner with bargains like this about. And free postage!

All the Sansui cassette decks were nice quality, some were very good.
I don't imagine this one will be much cop, it belonged to my youngest brother, who never spent a lot on that kind of thing. Anyway, I'll have to find a tape or two to test it. All my cassette tapes went years ago.
I think there be a whole set of Sansui separates if memory serves.
see if you can get the lot!Quote:

still got a tape separate upstairs and tapes etc.. its a drawer front loading denon.
Think the best all round I had was a Teac, can't recall for sure the model (A-360?), but it was the one below the A-450. Had a few Tandbergs too.
Had a Sony machine (can't recall the model) which allowed me to make recordings which were as good as those I used to make on my Ferrograph reel-to-reel machine.
The Sony was later replaced by Nakamichi machines which I had calibrated for TDK MA tape. Made about 100 recordings with them, mostly off the radio.
Still have the two machines as well as the tapes (somewhere).
Still have a few cassette tape decks, some the belts have gone (turned to goo) still working are Tandberg TCD 300, Pioneer CT? (fairly basic), JVC KD21D, JVCKD10 and a very early basic Sony (top loader). The most used was the JVC KD21D, although an inexpensive machine, with the right tape, recordings were excellent, better than the TCD300.
This is the tape deck I had in the early 80s. Got it for £99 in an end-of-line sale, funded by part of the money I'd saved to buy an engagement ring :( For a couple of years i had no t/t, just this for recordings off the radio and some pre-recorded tapes. i still think it looks pretty cool, and I've no idea what happened to it.
It had something called ANRS/Super ANRS, which was sort of like Dolby NR IIRC.
