PyleUsa Dual Cassette Deck | Music Recording Device with RCA Cables | Removable Rack Mounting Hardware | CrO2 Tape Selector | Built-in 3 Digit Tape Counter - 110V/220V

The media could not be loaded. I really love this dual cassette deck even if it does have some shortcomings. But if you think about the alternative you’ll agree this is a good value. I’ve been playing my old cassettes all week and I’m super happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend this deck!First, the pros:1. Low cost.The alternative is spend $500 to $600 for other brands.2. Sounds great3. Recording is easy and also sounds great4. Removable deck doors for easy cleaning5. Has quality TRW motors AND CSG deck mechanisms6. Has auto stop if the spindle gets jammed which prevents tapes from being eaten.7. Dynamics Noise Reduction which is not included on the updated 659D8. Zero wow and flutter (big plus)Cons:1. Deck doors open very slowly (15 seconds to fully open)2. Appearance/construction looks and feels very cheap3. I really dislike all writing. They make this look really busy and more cheap.

This Cassette deck is a much bigger upgrade from my old Shoebox one I bought a little while ago now. It still has some issues.First and foremost I bought this for recording mixtapes, my car has a stereo with a cassette player and i think these are just fun to use. Thus when I bought this I had expected the Noise Reduction feature to work for recording cassettes, It doesn't. However it dose work when you are playing a tape encoded With DNR B (Dolby Noise Reduction Type B.) If you are trying to record a tape with DNR encoded audio then all is not lost, if you have a PC you can get the application DDi Codec. This will let you encode your music files with DNR B or C, It is an extra 15$ though.As for the Playback, I have no complaints. Both deck A & B work well and playing a DNR tape with noise reduction works as well. To add Highspeed dubbing on this works quite well, no complaints.For the Build its so so. The decks themself are okay, the buttons are flimsy which is my main concern. when I depress the record / play buttons on deck B I can see a large amount of flexing. On the positive it seems its not going to be a problem as it doesn't bend far enough to permanently bend. Also it should be noted that its Pretty light, This seems like a problem but I've found that you can move the deck when trying to press the record button on Deck B.Overall its pretty good for 140$ but don't expect miracles

Not a bad dual tape deck for the price range however it does NOT fit into ANY standard 19” rack system. The ears they included are to short in width because when they are attached the over width is 18.5” and the unit cannot be mounted as described in their add. More than one model are advertised with rack mounts and they are not useable as well. So disappointing, I contacted the chat person when registering my purchase and they told me my model didn’t come with rack mounts even the their own advertisement and the very box it comes in clearly states that it is rack mountable and comes with mounting brackets. I wonder if Pyle USA understands false advertisement. Their name best describes what I received, a 💩 Pile!

It seems people are on the fence in regards to Pyle electrons: you love them or hate them. Before I bought this unit I was undecided. But now having purchased this deck (plus an amplifier) i find the quality excellent. The deck produces a realistic sound during playback and makes excellent recordings (with a high end tape). I highly recommend. Great value for the price.

Rack mount screw holes not threaded and doesn’t include screws to mount rack brackets

I love this cassette deck with dual cassette. It produces great sound quality and is very easy to use. Easy to hook up to any stereo receiver. I highly recommend this Pyle Dual cassette deck as well as any Pyle products.

This product has been very good. Sometimes tapes are difficult to put in and close to play.

Brings me back, I always liked cassette tape.Retro display and controls. Love it.
