That statement has meaning only to you. Nobody else can possibly know how much money you would prefer to spend.

In my opinion, the best cassette tape deck for playback is the Nakamichi Dragon. It has special electronics and a servo mechanism to adjust the playback head to the correct azimuth for any cassette regardless of the alignment of the tape deck on which it was originally recorded. Therefore, you get the best sound quality with all the high frequencies intact. The only problem might be finding a good one because the Nakamichi Dragon is no longer in production. It also might be above your price range, but that would be impossible for me to know.

Good luck,
John Elison
