This fantastic device, supplied by geeks.com, has been one of the best devices I've had the pleasure of reviewing. Read on for the complete story.

Can anyone tell me whether

Since we are discussing tape/Mp3 can anyone tell me whether tape quality is superior to mp3 ? Or does it just have that "old charm" factor with it?

It's not really a valid comparison - one is a recording media, the other is compression format. Tape converted to WAV will typically not sound better than an MP3 ripped from a CD though. IME, I've found that vinyl converted to digital audio sounds a hell of a lot better than cassette converted to digital audio.

Older people laugh at my unfamiliarity with analog audio equipment, I'm sure. I had to ask someone if you're supposed to be able to hear sound from a record player when there aren't any speakers attached to it.
