need suggestions for cd and cassette player

(1/3) > >>

Nick B:
I have a dear friend who just texted me that she wants to buy a CD player and maybe a cassette player too. She has an integrated. It’s a cheapie and sounds muffled most of the time. She’s not an audiophile in the least, but just loves listening to music. Her budget is $500.

I found this very nice deal on Audio Advisor for a Denon, integrated with cd player and other capabilities.

She’d be much better off with a unit like this, but I still want to solicit some suggestions. I’m sure there are combinations cd, and cassette players out there, but they are likely just pieces of junk. I just started searching and any suggestions are welcome.

GDHAL:
Not a bad choice on your part.

However if you can obtain a TEAC AD 850 SE CD and Cassette Player, it cost but a fraction over 500, *BUT* not only does it have cd and cassette deck, it has USB!

Not to mention Teac gear is hard to come by and in general good quality.

I think what you’ve chosen fits the bill nicely. I am the ‘audio guy’ for family and friends, and have done what you’re doing many times. Simple is good- a single box solution would fit her needs and is probably better in SQ than whatever cheapie she currently owns.
The minimalist front won’t be intimidating, and it has some streaming capabilities too.

I’ll search for that Teac unit, but then she’s still stuck with that cheapie integrated. If she gets the Denon, I can persuade her to eventually get better 2 way speakers. I think she’d really enjoy the improved sound.
