carewser Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I've only owned two cassette decks but it's been over 30 years since I had one. My first was a Sanyo and my second was a Technics. Your old Pioneer has impressive meters on it for the time but only having Dolby B would make it difficult for me to listen to as the only choices with it are suppressed high end with minimal hiss or natural highs with the incumbent hiss. My decks both had Dolby C and my Technics had Dolby HX Pro which restored the highs while largely eliminating the hiss, HX Pro was a big improvement https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Uika9JaRdeI/WdN6Zj8y6aI/AAAAAAAADBM/jBG05BIE-JUIfXyePvSYLaTzKUxeuorVwCLcBGAs/s1600/Sanyo%2BRD-S30.jpg https://hankstore.ca/product/technics-rs-br465-stereo-cassette-deck-bx1029/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLink Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Purchased this Pioneer Elite CT-05D cassette deck in 2008. Hardly used but its flawless in quality and design. I remember when I owned the Pioneer CTF-1000 and later the CTF-1250, nice decks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put it away years ago when I got a CD player in my car. I figured what the heck do I need cassettes for. Anyone know sources for new belts? Or a service manual? Someday I may get a round tuit...it is really LOW on the to-do list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had one before.. Basically all the decks posted are superb! I also have a denon drm-800a. It sounds excellent too. I just havent had the chance to get around it much. Thanks CCG..
