    LOL thanks. You should have seen it before I had to convert the basement to bedrooms. I had triple this but sold them off and only kept a few.

    So this combo player looks interesting. Originally a professional piece of equipment, but could apply to a nearfield setup where space is limited. Marantz too! Hmmm. :smile:

    Did I mention this link before in the context of this thread?
    If so, my apologies for being redundant.

    https://medium.com/@aubreynorwood/why-2019-will-be-the-year-of-the-cassette-7f9fb91859a3

    I hope the link works; if not, here's a screenshot of the beginning of the article, FWIW.

    You might not have realised it yet, but the popularity of cassettes tapes is on the rise. You’d be forgiven for thinking that the obsolete audio format was gone for good, but over the past few years that little nostalgic rectangle has caught the imagination of an entirely new generation.

    And looking forward, 2019 seems like it will (again) be the year of the humble cassette tape.

    Artists, audio-heads, musicians and even oddball music fans have all picked up the format that nobody wanted, and over recent years, sales in cassettes have skyrocketed, albeit still relative.

    13 Reasons Why used the format as a pivotal thematic plot device throughout the whole series and Guardians of the Galaxy’s merch cassette tie-in have basically solidified its presence in modern popular culture.

    But why? What’s so alluring about the format you probably have a box full of somewhere in your loft?

    Start hoarding them eight tracks, before it's too late!

    I've got a couple of vinyl-covered carriers full of 'em (dump finds, all, including the carrying cases) :)

    (sadly, I am not kidding)

    How about these cassette decks just posted on my Craig's list?
    I was tempted for second for that Kyocera but I really don't need another player for 50.00 or more. 20bucks...maybe. :D

    So I found this guy recently. Denon UDR-F10 Cassette Deck! Nice machined aluminum faceplate. Horizontal loading tray, Dolby B/C/HXPro, Auto Reverse. Small form factor, which will fit on the desk in my nearfield setip. Checking it out now! :smile:

    I've probably mentioned this before, but, if one of these happened to show up on my path at an attractive price... it'd probably follow me home. Even if it didn't work.
