Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum, but since this is my first post, here goes:
I know an elderly woman who has a ton of old cassettes that have content on them that cannot be replaced, and she would like me to digitize them.
I have a decent enough DAW (Delta 66 with decent breakout box, line inputs, Adobe Audition, Reaper etc.) so I'm all set on that end. I just need a CHEAP cassette player with a line out that will do the job. I've had some bad luck buying old, once upon a time relatively high-end (Nakamichi) decks on eBay, because they get beat up over the years and I'm not interested in learning major cassette deck repair. Besides, 3 head vs. two head et al shouldn't make any difference for A/D conversion, right?
... So I thought I'd go for something new with a variable speed function, and am looking at the Sony TC-WE475 for $130. It doesn't need to be great. Just good enough to perform a decent rendering. Anyone have any experience with this gear, or a better idea for doing this without spending a ton of money?
Thanks in advance.
