Take care when you buy a (used) tape deck, as it could be worn out beyond repair and spare parts are very rare. Also take care when connecting a modern amp with the sound card of your computer, as the ones that have earthed receptacles being connected with the computer can form a ground loop. better connect the tape deck directly and "eliminate the middleman" (the amp). I have a Denon DR-M20, which I bought slightly used from my stereo dealer, but something broke in the transmission mechanism, but he could find a spare part out of his own stock and I'm going to pick it up tomorrow. I can't wait to give it a spin. It's a 3 head 3 motor, back in the day it would cost 1200 euros but I bought it only for 300.
