Saved by the RS-BX501
3 of 3 found this helpful I have a large collection of music on audio cassette tapes (as well as other media). For 25 years or so they were recorded and/or played back through a NAD Single Cassette Deck. When the door mechanism of that failed I sought a 'modern' replacement. The first, a new twin cassette deck, was supplied with both decks faulty. The second, a CD etc. Player/Recorder with Cassette Deck failed at 18 months and was deemed not repairable or replaceable. So three times within two years I was left without a cassette player/recorder and with that background I was doubtful that any other 'modern' replacement available now would be any better in construction, audio quality or working life.
The RX-BX501 meets all my needs keeping alive this music archive dating back decades. It fits in perfectly with the rest of that hi fi system, the sound reproduction is first class and consistent with other sources such as vinyl and CD used through the same modern tuner amplifier and 'vintage' speakers. Naturally, I cannot as yet comment on its durability but it's construction, feel and appearance gives confidence for the future. Highly recommended.
