OP I apologize. I kind of thought you were kidding, since I agree with you about Sansui, Marantz and Nakamichi. I have learned allot on this forum, don't get discouraged.
The all time great audio "brands" are either now non-existent or the brand names have been bought, and off-shore companys are selling their gear under a false flag, false in the sense that a Marantz is no kin to "Marantz" of historical importance. McIntosh may be one exception, and I am sure there are a very few others, like maybe KEF and Technics.  Was that your point in starting this pointless thread?
Cassettes. You cannot be serious. If you're into tape get something with a decent speed. Ditch the compact toys and get a reel to reel deck.

Cassettes run at 1.875" per second.  Reel to reel runs at 7.5" per second or 15" per second, which is the professional standard.
"Sorry, we were supposed to post if we disagreed...

I disagree."

That's what I thought too perkri. I guess he didn't mean it.
