I have a fairly substantial collection of Irish traditional music on cassettes, so it's important for me to have a tape deck. Sonically, they're rotten but needs must. I recently got a nice 2nd hand tape deck and I have a spare just in case, but I don't listen to tapes for fun really.

Yep, only kept mine for so long because of some valuable pub rock / blues tapes I recorded myself back late 70's / 80's

Nakamichi was one of the best and could easily match vinyl if properly recorded. (Particularly if you had the Dragon)

No. Not had one since buying my first CD player in the 1990s

I have a lovely Nakamichi ZX-7 but it’s not been serviced for over 25 years, so that is what I’m aiming to get done this year.

I only have around 60 cassettes so I didn’t spend a fortune on a deck. I have a Denon drm 595 but it’s probably going to get listed on eBay as I just don’t use it enough. Someone else may as well enjoy it.

I have around 300 cassettes that haven't seen the light of day since the early 1990,s but only a Aiwa Walkman that hasn't been played since the 1990.s

and it is debatable if that was actually the best Nakamichi.
the limiting factor was the longevity of the tapes themselves....

 

[aversaurus]

I only really played the tapes in the car or on the Walkman all in all on the hifi they didn't sound great

I still have my JVC that had much work making tapes for use in the car.

Recently put my cassette deck back in the system after found a load of my old cassettes. Used a lot when first had it as a student as copied friends albums then used to copy ads for my car and also make up playlist tapes. It's the playlist ones I put it back in for as they tend to be b sides and rarities, I have the originals but easier to play the tape and a lot of these aren't on Qobuz

I'm really hoping you mean CDs - otherwise your journeys can't have been much fun!
