I still am into cassettes and agree, i wasn't expecting much, but have been blown away with the sonic qualities on many tapes.
i find many decks at Flea markets for $10-$20
I have a BX300 as well as a BX-100, I paid $10 for each.
I tend to look for and find the TOTL models from the late 70s or 80s, i.e. , the Akai 3 head decks with glass heads.
i also look and find sealed CrO2 tapes and if I am lucky Metal tapes. It has been a fun searching for and enjoying the old tapes/
