I just connected a Kenwood KX-W594 cassette deck (found abandoned on our street apron 5-6 years ago) to the Sharp SD-EX111 mini system we use @ the computer.
The reason being that my wife found a large box of her old cassette’s buried in the spare bedroom closet.
The record side is dead/does not function, but the playback side seems to be fine after cleaning the playback head.
Not wanting to make up a new pair of interconnects from my 47 Labs OTA supplies I used a pair of old IC’s that came with a VCR or DVD player (probably VCR as they were really crusty before cleaning).
The Sharp Mini System is powered by a BMI Whale PC (leftover from a previous system) and sports a 6’ pair of the Micca speaker cables connected to Polk RT15i speakers (also have Canare, 47 Labs OTA and Neotch speaker cables for this setup, but the Micca sound good and are an easy connection with their banana plugs).
What interconnects would you try with this setup were you in my shoes (obviously I do not have a budget - the sky’s the limit-;)?
PS:
I’m listening to Lena Lovich "Stateless" (never heard of her before) and can’t wait to go through the rest of the trove.
