I'm so glad physical music is making a huge comeback!
donttreadonme76 except all cassettes sound like shit. The format is just bad.
deedlede2222 I wouldn't know, haha! I honestly just love vinyl but cassettes seem pretty cool
I agree the format is worse than alot of others however the key point is, Cassettes are as crap as you make them.
In layman's terms, type 1 cassette recording off an AM radio with poor connection will be absolute garbage. However, metal tapes recording off a high quality turntable/Mp3 player sound great.
Obviously the first method is so much cheaper than the second one (One metal tape can be about £50!) but I suppose it's down to how much you like it and how much money you want to invest.
Çerastes I guess it's more of a sentimental, meaningful and in a way nostalgic thing. I honestly just appreciate music so much to get CDs, and records! That's just me though. But at the same time I have my files for music in the go! But there's just something about kicking back to a record or a CD. Again, that's just me
because analog audio destroys digital. digital is not music only a "sample " of it.
The reason why a lot of cheap cassette players eat tape is because they don't detect if the take up spool is not turning, so if the take up gets jammed, the capstan pulls all the tape out and you get a tangled mess! It's happened to me many times. Good tape players will detect if the take up is not turning and shut off, preventing the tape from being eaten. The easiest way to tell if it has that is to do what I call the "rewind test", where you press rewind without a tape in, and if the rewind button pops up again after a couple of seconds, it's good, that means i has the type of auto stop that detects when the take up spool is not turning, and not a crappy tension senor instead. Also does this have AC or DC bias recording? DC bias sounds like crap as it still has a little distortion and brings out all the "surface noise" of the tape, whereas AC bias makes nice clean recordings.
The rewind test doesn't work on all cassette machines. It does work on most, but I have a JVC boombox from the late 70s that stops when it detects that a hub isn't moving, but it doesn't stop in rewind when there is no tape. Makes me think that's an advanced one that detects when any of the hubs aren't turning...I've always wondered why it didn't stop in rewind with no tape.
wow, very good info, i didn't know that, thanks!
Mine did that. It never forced a cassette to play if the tape was dodgy. Sadly the CD reader suddenly died after less than 2 years of use
I have one of the boomboxes in this video and it ate my iwrotehaikusaboutcannibalisminyouryearbook tape that they made when they reuinted :(
I love listening to cassettes to a point where I no longer listen to digital music any more.
Same
the buttons aren't upside-down, there like that on purpose. they face the direction that the tape is playing. since the tape loads upside-down it's plays right to left. it's like that on a lot of old school cassette players. also I love when you do videos on anything cassettes!!!
What he said.
I agree. Besides, they wouldn't have the Eject button pointing down. Otherwise, I do appreciate the review.
would expect him to know that
I figured that out when I was like five. If you have a device where you put in the tape "upside down" the playing direction goes to the left and to the right when the tape is "upwards"...
its because schools can use these to play a casette, with the speaker facing towards the students, while still able to access the buttons
For those you don't know the Mexican song, it's called La Chona by Los Tucanes de Tijuana.
Fireboy I got it on vinyl
Fireboy that's a damn good song
Can you please make more videos on cassettes?
+The Real Polish Dude for sure :)
I remember going to a small car show in Baltimore a number of years back and driving by there in my '97 Camry and checking things out. While observing the cars, a guy came up to me and asked what kind of stereo I had in my car and on what format I was playing it on. I told him it was the stock stereo and that I was playing a chrome (Maxell XL-II) tape. He was astonished that is sounded so good.
After watching Techmoans video about cassettes and how they can actually sound pretty good, I got my Dad's old Sony TC-KE300 cassete deck out of the basement, cleaned and aligned the play- and recording heads, and recorded a mixtape to check it out. I was absolutely stunned (and I still am everytime I record something and play it back) I couldn't believe that for all these years I thought cassette tapes had to sound mushy and low-quality. I used to record mixtapes for my parents cars up untill around 2007 ! Trying it out nowadays really brings back childhood memories of sitting next to the player, hoping it doesn't cut out and hoping the last song will fit before the tape runs out... x)
You could not have timed this better. Because I just bought a lot of 80's cassette tapes at a thrift shop!
Hall and Oates - H2O
Men At Work - Cargo
Dire Straights - Brothers in Arms
Mike and The Mechanics - The Living Years
Duran Duran - Ordinary World (Single)
The Cars - The Cars
Johnathon Teodosio I have a Beatles 67-70, late night delight, and a single
It truly is. I found it an original lp of it, however it had the radio edits of the songs. So some songs didn't have an intro or outro. Just bought the 180 gram version of it and it is amazing. A cheap audiophile reference. With good music! What is there not to love!
I actually really want a cassette player, great video!
helenehaugenh I'm looking for a cassette deck also !!
Me too
I have 2 cassette players, I hope 3rd....
That's the one I've got. I bought it for work 9 months ago and it works perfectly. Mainly use the AUX with my iPod, but I have used the Radio, CDs & Cassettes many times. Great product.
Wow, 89.9 FM was Fire by Justice! Proud to be french ahah
Great Song :D
WOW we have the same last name
Isn’t that BbC radio 2
SONY now also makes the CFD-S70 which has some advantages and disadvantages over the S50. Disadvantages are, the cassette door is somewhat flimsy, it opens super fast, which is not always the best sign (this is really the biggest design flaw); there is also no "tape" button, you have to push down the play button to get it into tape mod. However, it's advantages are, the auxiliary and headphone jacks are on the side of the player, not the back of it, which is really convenient, it also has "favorite radio stations" buttons which are numbered, where you can choose your top 3 favorite stations and then be able to go to them instantly, and the sound quality is super good, like, if you record a tape from a CD you can't tell the difference, just plug in some good headphones and you'll be good.
The transport buttons on the player are accurate. Check any old deck. The play arrow seems backward, but that is the direction the tape moves if you are looking at the supply and takeup reels. (Sony knows what they are doing) Love your content, and I love the forays into the land of magnetic tape!
Hi Jarrett, love your work and your passion. I have one of these machines but mine is called a CFD-S01 and I think it is at least ten years old. Cosmetically different but functionally identical, even down to the back to front buttons on the cassette mechanism. It's still working perfectly so I will say that these things are reliable as well as a reasonable sound. Cheers.
He reviews a tape deck and doesn't play a tape on it? Seriously?
Well he could have recorded some royalty free music to a blank tape and played that but that would be pointless as we are hearing it over compressed RUclips audio and our PCs sound hardware and not the actual cassette player.
??.? FM
Haha the song is ''La chola¨
João Alberto Maybe it's 95.7 FM
I just bought this! I wanted to get into cassettes but I didn't have enough for a deck! Thanks so much for suggesting this Jarrett!
4:50 “Everlong (Acoustic Version)” by Foo Fighters...
This is pretty nice for the value. I do like how it has a digital tuner for AM/FM as well as the elapsed time and track number for CDs. The mini stereo (aka auxiliary) in was a nice touch too.
do a video talking about those 5 in 1 turntables like the "Crosley Rochester 5 in 1 Entertainment Center"
I have a Sony CFD-S300 CD/Cassette/Radio combo that I got in 2004 and it has worked incredibly well for almost 15 years. You can still find them on ebay used for around 30 to 55$.
I got a Sony CFD-E95
Just got one of these yesterday from a local store. Didnt realise you got a video for it! I was confused when i wanted to rewind a tape but realized that the buttons are backwards :D
This might be a good gift for my grandma, she likes to listen to the radio and she plays CDs and cassettes
Just got one for Christmas, I didn't know you'd reviewed the exact model I got! Awesome!
I have this Cassette player and I love it
LOVE cassettes. Got a Nakamichi DR3 myself.
Great video, Jarrett. I've had this portable player for several years and have enjoyed it a lot. I plug it into the auxiliary jack of my receiver and it sounds even better and can use the receiver's equalizer, enhancing the treble.
I love cassettes. always keeping the analog format alive. Also, as vinyl prices keep being gauged and going up cassettes remain cheaper to afford, analog sound, and just plain fun. Plus nostalgia if you grew up with it like me. Got 80s Yamaha and Technics RS B7 tape decks.
Great, great, GREAT VIDEO! Anybody can make videos about crazy expensive gear and say how great it is or highlight the budget crap that you shouldn't buy, but showing off a decent quality player that's simple and reliable will get my vote every time. Well done, Jarrett!
Yay another cassette video! I love the quality of your videos and your style is not abrasive like a lot of other channels. Keep up the good work!
I have a portable player and it's a panasonic. I researched the hell out of that model and made sure it was one of the best and I am still in love with it. yes, it's not the highest quality and it is older, but I love it so much. I've been a cassette enthusiast for a while now especially that I grew up with these babies. I'm so happy that I found your channel and that there are people who are just as passionate about cassettes and the art of taking care of them
Hi don't mind sharing the model u are using, I'm planning to get a player soon
I remember buying a RadioShack CT-120 "shoebox" cassette recorder to interview people for a local history project that I was working on. It sat in the cupboard for over 10 years until I introduced it to my 8-year old son, along with some cassettes. My son started to make his own voice tapes - he thought it was so cool!
For those who don't like buying used e-bay stuff, TASCAM still makes new cassette decks, some available with CD recorders as well. So you can make a mix tape along with a mix CD. They're not cheap though. Nice recommendation on a not-terrible player.
The job i worked at last had this exact player.. we used it heavily and it has aux in. One of the guys used the cassette player and it worked pretty well
I have one that I bought about 3 to 4 years ago. I like the fact that it can play CD-Rs with mp3 files on them as well as standard audio CD and homebrew CD-Rs. I do use the cassette sometimes but find it has wow and flutter. Overall I enjoy my Sony CFD 50 or whatever the model number is.
LOVE THIS I GOT THIS AT WALMART a year ago i have 450 tapes and they all sound great
I found one like that at the second hand store. It's good to play my CDs and cassette
Sony is the law, we had one in school I bought few cassettes to record a radio. I was surprised with how he recorded! Perfect, clear sound, the only bad thing at Sony cassette + CD machine was the automatic NR filter.
Love your review!THANKS!!!😊
Love your videos!
Buttons aren't upside down. Play arrow shows the direction of the tape. Since the play heads are on the top to save on mechanism costs, the cassette is being inserted upside down, thus it runs from right to left, so the arrow points left.
Same with older walkmans that had the buttons on the side like Starlord's TPS-L2, the play arrow would point up. And the FF and REW arrows would also point up and down.
just played my pioneer cassette deck tonight actually, i love tapes they sound great in my hifi setup!!
Ha! I bought one for my dad, too. It's a decent little unit.
+Gregory Short (popcrackle.com) glad you like it as well man! :D
Just got this today, its so cool
I actually got a model up from this, the CFD-S70, for christmas and it's quite nice. the sleek design does a lot but they changed from printing on the buttons to recessed shapes and they're not easily seen when the player is all white :D
I have this "boombox" for nearly 2 years and still works great! I also did a review video for this model.
I actually saw it in one of our shopping malls here in the Philippines.I wanna buy it so that I can play my old tapes.
I got this for Christmas got some of my favorite albums on cassette I love it :)
I scored a Sony cfd-v15 at a Goodwill for $6.99. Everything works and works very well. Radio, tape and cd player. Manufacturing date on the back is May, 1998. I've been using it for 10 months now. I see these players for around at least 40 to 50 bucks on ebay.
I play radio on very similar player in my kitchen all the time! I think that sometimes we need superb quality and sometimes just convenient way to enjoy our music, so this is a perfect way! And always much much better that laptop speakers
great review!
Sony does not make crap. They may not be an audiophile brand, but I never encountered a sony audio product that was not able to keep up the expectations. ;-)The boombox design? If portable is what you need, this is fine. If it will forever rest on a desk? Go for a smell microset instead. Having seperate speakers, even being of a very cheapo type, is always a huge improvement for sound. Vibration is always an issue with a boombox system ...
I bought a similar Sony boombox for my parents to play their CD's and tapes on. I tried recording CD and radio to a Maxell UR tape and its not a very recorder, low volume and tape hiss. And I wish it had some kind of bass/treble controls instead of a "super bass" switch. It does have a good tuner, even for the AM band which was a surprise.
Just bought it love it
Love them. Childhood memories.
thanks i found a cassette tape thats blank and i wanted to record on in with something decent since i love cassttes
clay needed this # 13 reason why
I Had both and a sony walkman that i took to school back in the 80s with a small pile of mixed tapes.
A good editing job on this one. Your scrips and presentation are always excellent. Good job.
I have a cassette deck and portable.
I have both a deck and this same radio there both awesome!!
I like cassette and used to make mixtapes and have upgraded to CDrs! I do still pllay my old mixtapes in the car! Trish
I have this boombox it plays pretty good too :)
You can't go wrong with Sony Products. I swear by there products and it's nice to know about the small boombox you're showing in this video. I have an old Sony boombox from 2001 with a cassette deck, CD, and radio and it's still working like a champ to this day. My turntable is a Sony PS-LX300USB that I bought back in 2008 and it works like a champ as well. Anyone asks me what's good for a turntable or a cassette deck, I always say Sony.
I know not everyone wants to invest in a retro stereo system for cassettes, but man, when you do it just blows everything away.
I have Sony CFD-S50. But after buying it, I had to tune screw of the tape head, now it sounds pretty well, except for noise.
That was beautiful, you tuned into la Chona! Probably the best Latin dance song
I have this model now.... Pretty good...
I had the JVC PC-XT3 Boombox, and it never chewed up any of my tapes. Due to the TWIN-CD malfunction, I replaced it. I bought the SONY MHC EC-69, with USB/3CD/FM/AM-playback. I love the USB-port. I can fill up the stick with music and play it on my stereo set. The sound quality is great, SONY at it's best.
I have this and it's amazing
I gave a mix tape to my lady friend once, it made her really happy, which makes me really happy.
I have that player, is very nice with good sound. Greetings from Mexico!
I guess it'd be safe to give this boom box a try. I'd plan on hooking it up to separate high quality speakers. Not sure I'm willing to invest in an expensive tape deck just yet unless I ask for one for Christmas 😜
I bought one of the Sony CFDS50 CD/Tape players about a year ago. I like that it plays MP3 CDs as well as recorded CDs. I borrowed my parents CD/Tape boombox and it wouldn't play recorded CDs. My friends and I make "mixtapes" on CDs and trade each other a few times a year but I have one friend who still has a cassette deck in his car so I got the CFDS50 so I could record his on a cassette. It works great. Like you said not super high audio quality but gets the job done.
They also make the CFD-S70 which is practically the same thing, although with a few small differences here and there.
I was considering to save up to get this thing, but I was looking downstairs and I actually found this model! I'm still considering getting a big tape deck, but this is going to work out for a while at least!
I've got the CFD-S70 model myself and that looks like it's more or less the same as that one. It seems quite reliable, keeps the proper speed and does not try to eat tapes. Sound quality is decent, even if I may think that the cassette recorder motor is a bit noisy. It's very affordable though for those who want to play tapes. Great vid as always. Cheers!
Do you have to have batteries in if it is plugged in?
@@cliffsalisbury7714 No, you don't.
I always loved cassettes and always will. Just gotta use right equipment when It comes to recording. I got tapes from 1960's that still sound amazing. Gotta have the top of the line equipment to make them last and sound great.
4:42 PRINCE!
Ah, I must have made a good choice on this. I bought it last year. :)
I am getting a Sony CFD S70 tomorrow actually!
I'm 28 listening to cassette tapes. it was what I was brought up on. didn't have CDs to I was older.
Hey that sony player reminds me a lot of my Sony tape player back in 90s
Love cassettes - more for recording/mastering purposes but playback can be awesome as well if you've got good tapes & player - currently thinking I might have to replace my Marantz deck since it's been giving me a bit of trouble but I'm glad you suggested a quality portable player as well
I ordered this exact boombox on eBay today.
I have this same one but the design is a bit different, I think mine is a newer updated version, but it still has the same features. It has everything you said, plus a headphone jack on the side and an aux cord input right next to it, and I believe it's Bluetooth. I've had it for over a year and a half now, and everything still works great. The speakers sound great to me, maybe not to an "audiophile" but I sure love it.
Also I get what you're saying about the buttons being backwards, it was confusing when I first started using the cassette player but I got the hang of it.
Great video.I'm actually looking for a new portable casssette player which I can use to play and also rip my tapes into my computer.I might consider this one.
My preference is to cassette decks. I have several, a Harman Kardon CD-491, a TEAC C3RX and a SONY TC-WR90ES. I use outboard dbx noise reduction on the HK and the SONY, but the TEAC has it built in. My walkman unit is a Panasonic RQJ20X which has built in dbx noise reduction. Most of my cassettes are dbx encoded so compatibility is an issue, but the trade off in noise reduction is worth it. To have cassettes that are literally indistinguishable from digital sources is quite incredible. I also prefer 3 head cassette decks, which allow monitoring of the recording as it is taking place. Brand new 3-head decks are hard to find, but e-bay has many still. All of my decks were purchased new and I am the original owner. If you take care of your stuff, it lasts. :-)
I would love if in the future you would do a modern walkman that doesn't suck video while this boombox is dope I would like something smaller to go with it to keep in my pocket
I found one similar to this at Walmart for $60 two weeks ago. It's very good for listening and recording to cassettes.
Of course, It doesn't have Bluetooth for Airpods so I plug in an Airfly Duo to the player's headphone jack and works great on it
I also had to get used to fast forward actually being rewind
(Probably this has been said before, but can't find those right now, so I'll add my comment.)
The cassette buttons were like that pretty commonly in players that would access the cassette from above. Usually that kind of players were boomboxes or something like that. Instead, non-portable players meant for living room use usually accessed the cassette from below, and those had the buttons set up in "traditional" way. So, the order of the buttons and the direction of arrows pretty much always was reflecting the direction in which the tape on the spools of the cassette would move. In a living room hifi setup, when you inserted the cassette (to be accessed from below), the tape was first on the left spool. The arrows on the play and other buttons showed in which direction the tape on the spools would move. In matter of fact, I still have a JVC boombox from late 80's, and it has the buttons in same order and with the same arrow directions. So this player is not a special thing; there have pretty much always been players like that.
Great video, I have some cassette player I think there are all decks.
I just picked up a used Harman Kardon cassette deck and love it. It’s in awesome condition and picked up for $75 off Kijiji.
I have them all, and I am not giving up on analogue no matter what pixels or digits are out there
I still have a Nakamichi Dragon and a BX300, an Aiwa AD-F770 and a Sony Pro Walkman WMD-6C, and also an AIwa CS600K Portable radio cassette deck which has a brilliant sound quality even now, 34 years after I first bought it. I like that once I have put a tape on I can switch off for 45 minutes, no track skipping, or random play, just the album end to end in the order intended.
Love them, own over 200 tapes in mint CONDISH and 4 tape players of various kinds.
got this thing, and ive been pretty happy with it until i realized that it only plays type one cassettes. that really put a damper on it for me.
I have that exact same cassette player I use it all the time and I have for about two years with no problem at all it's a very good unit and I highly recommend!!! AWSOME video!
i bought the twin to the boombox i owned when i was 12...off ebay and had it shipped from utah to NY. its by GE with digital tuning...
I have the bigger model of that Sony Radio. I listen to my records with it via Aux-input. It sounds good too.
I think the buttons are upside down to correspond with the cassette which is also inserted 'upside down', or, more specifically, to correspond with the direction in which the tape travels. The buttons on my portable combo player have the same orientation.
