Cassette deck is just a fancy term to indicate that it is part of a separates system. The system pictured is actually my fathers (he bought it in 1996 for $1,100) but he recently gave it to me lol. The cassette deck has Dolby Noise Reduction, even by todays standards, it is very good.

When my niece was younger, she wanted to hear one of my headphones, so loaded a disc into my Sony CDP-C701ES and she was amazed how the drawer opened and the carousel turned. She knew what a Cd was, but had never seen a CD player with a drawer and carousel for 5 discs.

Heh.... the young'uns have missed out on some cool stuff. Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw in town a few weeks ago: "I may be old... but I got to see all the cool bands!":L3000:

I thought I would leave a sign of life in this thread as I have finished upgrading/enlarging my audio setup (yes Head-Fi, I REALLY mean it, stop tempting me and emptying my wallet for a while! :beyersmile:).
Man, it's been a real while since I posted here, a completely different setup! Went from a DAC/amp combo from Creative to Schiit Mimby/Magni 3 a few months ago, plus the HD600 and now a pretty decent CD player (Marantz CD5005 used as a transport to the Mimby, of course).

Well, here it is in all its glory!

As I mentioned, the Marantz is the newest addition to the setup (man, it's huge compared to the Schiit ministack!), as I plan to move most of my listening to CDs. They say coax is the best of the Mimby's 3 inputs, so I might even enjoy it more than the USB connection I've gone through during the last months.
Cheers! :)

So this is it. Well almost, the DIY tube amp has a provisional housing that only a mother could tolerate. Sounds pretty hefty, though
