TOMASHI Portable Stereo Cassette Player Tape Recorder Walkman with Microphone,Headphone Jack-, Cassette Player 4.77 x 3.62 x 1.49inch,

After trying out several other cheap “stereo” cassette players from Amazon that all turned out to be just mono, this one has turned out great. It has an actual stereo head, and the playback speed has been just about spot on out of box. If you need to adjust the speed, there’s a small port on the back where you can easily adjust the motor speed with a tiny screwdriver. Wow and flutter is also surprisingly minimal as far as I can tell (practically non existent to my ears, but I’m not the biggest audiophile either). One thing to note is that the azimuth of the head was a little off out of the box, leading to slightly muffled playback. This is also easily adjustable with a small screwdriver. For those who might be unfamiliar, the azimuth adjustment affects how lined up the head is to the tape. So if you find the audio is a little muffled, try turning the little screw next to the head (it should have some red paint on it, there’s also a little cutout for it when the cover is open). The only complaint I might have is that the case closure is uninspiring. It doesn’t really click shut, it just stays closed under spring pressure. No issue really, as it doesn’t affect playback. I guess just try and avoid inadvertently pulling it open while it’s running. Overall, great little player for the price.

Listening to cassette tapes while driving

Pelo preço vale muito. Consegui tocar fitas estéreo e gravar mono. Gravei Charles Mingus Ah Um em uma fita virgem usando cabo P2 e ficou com ruídos é claro, mas deu para curtir. O tocador é bem melhor do que o gravador, toca estéreo com ótima qualidade. Não tirei estrelas pois pelo preço não esperava muito. O meu veio com alguns arranhões na frente mas nada perceptível ou que influenciasse no tocador. O vídeo é do tocador estéreo tocando Pink Floyd. Não pude carregar o vídeo da gravação do Charles Mingus mas é mono, com ruído porém audível.

Enjoyed it while it worked Still plays but at double speed which is not ideal
