Tascam 202 mk7 - No frills, solid & reliable deck
It seems to me that Tascam is living up to it's heritage with this deck. It plays new and old cassettes reliably. I'm torn on the particular bells and whistles that used to be offered in the 1990s, like 3 heads, auto reverse, input / auto monitor......but the truth is I have tapes and simply wanted to have a brand new deck to play them on. While the price seems rather steep for lacking said features, it's considerably cheaper than buying a good deck with those bells and whistles from 25, 30 years ago and then having to ship it to someone who can refurbish it. Have you seen the price for a Dragon? YIKES. Even the professional offerings of Tascam from the 90's command a pretty hefty price if they are in tip top shape. All that being said, I'm very happy with the 202 mk7. It is a no frills deck that I expect to last many years. If I had it to do over again - I would.
