In Reply to: RE: Which cassette deck sounds like a record player... posted by acanuckkhan on March 06, 2015 at 10:24:03
'Liquidity', for you, will probably depend on decent amplifying electronics. Since the medium is, itself, analogue, and you find that"The cassette sounds warm yes, but it is that liquid part of a vinyl record that is missing from it"
it may be that you are sensitive to the tonal presentation rather than specifics of the medium. What have you been using?
You'll probably have to invest in something decent. I get a good sense of 'flow' from my decks (Sony WM-D6C, Yamaha KX-690, Tandberg TCD 440A), but I may be listening for something different from you. Of the three, the Tandberg has the most fulsome presentation.

I have a Nakamichi BX 300, Nak 480 and a Nak 250. Plus a couple of dubbing machines including a Sony dolby S deck.
There has to be a deck, must be one or two, where you can not tell the difference if it is a turntable or a cassette deck playing, and regardless of tapes be it pre-recorded or home recorded one.
what turntable/tonearm/cartridge/phonostage are you using? Knowledge of those may help folk to recommend a tape deck with a similar/sympathetic sonic signature.
Seems like some tuning will be involved. I think a vintage, restored Tandberg may suit you. Perhaps a 330 or a 440. The Revox machine, mentioned below, is also supposed to be good-sounding, though I've never heard one.

The problem with a liquid sound is I have to mop up after each play.

and natural reproduction from a cassette deck...I suggest you audition the Revox B 215 if you can find one in a fully restored and recapped to its original specs condition...
