Well, many times I find myself duplicating tapes from the 80's and choosing some tunes to make my mix tapes. I have been very fortunate to have some quality decks to do so. I'm using my ZX 9 for playback and the Revox B 215S for recording. Sometimes I use the TEAC Z 7000 or simply my ZX 7. My friends are simpy amazed when I tell them that this a "copy of a copy" Ha! They just can't believe it. Take a look!
