Ask a guy considering buying a New double cassette deck in 2023 anything?

so I'm thinking about buying a brand new double cassette deck for my stereo system, new TEAC w1200.

it has Karaoke features and USB PCM output so I can digitize my Vinyl, make mix tapes.

How much? I have a solid JVC with some of those same specs. The hard part is finding cassette tapes that aren't outrageously overpriced.

its $500 for the new TEAC , this is the best brand new production unit available..I looked at their mixed CD/tape offering but I have 2 very nice CD players already....this double cassette has cool add ons like Karaoke and PCM 48k digital out....

I know they still exist, but only for really high end stuff.
I have a silly stereo

2 Turntables with their own phono pre amps
2 CD players
Pre amplifier/ power amplifier
A pre amp just to control the dual stereo subwoofers
A Equalizer for the Main speakers
A separate headphone amp with its own EQ

I also have a good Bluetooth reciever hooked up to it that has APTXHD so if I stream its very good upsampled to 24bit

I also have a PS3


I want to Add this double cassette deck and maybe a LaserDisc player


I like physical media. it makes me happy, streaming is dumb

I remember making mix tapes and how cool that would be today compared to a damn playlist or streaming....I can put my vinyl im mix or yt sound,,,just put in a tape and let it play for damn 90 mins without interuption


Tapes can sound pretty good

I almost got a Sansui equalizer/amp combo but was outbid on it. Probably for the best it didnt even have a remote which for any amp is super convenient.
My refound love of a real stereo like I had back in the 90's has been really great, been building and collecting music again since the pandemic lockdowns

I used to have a nice light up audiosource EQ in the 90's

now my EQ is just plain but its a good one

My amplifier has nice VU meters though now

speaking of Cerwin Vega's I kinda want a pair for the nostalgia,,,gotta love a big pair of speakers

I got a pair of nice standmont 2 way ELAC's carina's and dual 8 inch B&W stereo subs,,,they really smoke any old pair of vegas but a double stack of big speakers has a different sound, not a crystal clear but BIG sound.even if its not loud...its engaging and dynamic though not as detailed and crystal crispy.
