First, I've been active on the Asylum for many years but really on the Vinyl and Vintage asylums. A few years ago, I was given a Sony tc-640 deck that has languished in a corner for all this time. I finally have got it out and going (a new year's resolution). First, after reading, I know this is not a highly regarded deck. Yet I'm totally impressed with the sound and it's performance which rivals my vinyl in the system. I'm surprised at the fidelity of the tapes as well and am adding a few thanks to ebay. Primarily listening to classical music. More to follow as I'm only a week into having this functional and listenable.

To me, tape playback is as fun as portable digital is soulless. Not a very fair or even rational argument, but then fun, like love, isn't always rational, is it?!

Are you collecting blanks or pre-recorded material?

  Right now, I decided to pick up some tape music on ebay primarily classical at this point. Any recommendations and thoughts?

    I found some jems a few weeks ago- and finally got around to listening to them-
    Saw a pile of cassette tapes on the free table at the local 'Pay-n-Take' - and seeing that they were all type III or IV I grabed them - (also the tabs for recording had not been broken)
    Needed one for recording an FM broadcast that I wanted to save and finally listened to the other side -
    Live John Cale from the Late '90s - Just John and a Piano - Amazing!
    then others were a mix but well recorded!
    Keep your eyes peeled for this type of Jems...
    Happy listening
