I listen to a lot of tapes..... But I love MiniDisc.... The best of both worlds to me.

Greetings From TURKEY . I have a SONY LBT-A77 stereo. I can record from CD to tape. Even though the tape is 15 years old, the result is great. Definitely the sound quality of the tape is better.
And keep it mind. Not many Type 1 or even Chrome Tapes have equal quality, even to older ones. Using with a phone is not a bad idea. But using with an lightning Adapter for the iPhone, can be bit finicky if you hear few buzz noises. Maybe USB C is fine for Phones or tablets. I think its Better recommended to plug on PC in order to record from better digital source to the Cassette deck. Nothing wrong using with phones but maybe if the phone has an built in AUX output, it should be perfectly fine. By using NR really much depends how the deck performs, which not all decks are equal to the Process. It could be either to the Tapehead azimuth that sounded muffled, less of the issue. But mostly if the encoding isnt excatly compatible to its recording process using other decks. Thats also the case with good Prerecorded Tapes if its gonna be either sound muffled to previous decks but sound good on one specific deck that sounds accurate. Its always about a fitting gear and its kinda annoying when the NR process doesnt sound correct. Thats all i wanna say about for few Recording notes for good quality Decks and Tapes
I want to add to this. If you have an eq with a spectrum analyzer you can correct for any other playback device than your recording device. I like to listen to all sorts of crappy walkmans (as well as high-end) for my amusement. Record a pink noise clean to your tape. Play recorded pink noise from playback device to your recording device /eq setup and use the eq to cancel any ‘color’ added by your playback device. I never knew I needed an eq before finding this out. If you have to set it by ear/ trial and error you’re never going to get similar results. You need a good eq/ spectrum analyzer for best results. I use a twelve band.
Hey man, thanks a lot for makkng this. I've recently gotten into cassettes and have been looking for a good tutorial on custom mixtape making. Btw, are you able to reccomend any easily accessible good quality decks?

A "good " cassette recorded on reasonably great tape deck , from a exceptionally good source , can sound amazingly good.
100% agree!
