Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
I like Alesis products and have several others. There is a lot of plastic, like everything nowadays, but it seems well made.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
The ability to go directly to computer is a real plus and why I purchased it in the first place. BEWARE!!! This doesn't have true Dolby B processing. The Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR) feature is close, but it doesn't compare to my home audio deck.
Ease of Use
How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be?
Works just like all dual cassette decks from years ago, except it won't sequentially play from A to B deck. I didn't buy it for home audio so that's not a big deal.
Sound
How is its Tone?
DNR processor doesn't EXACTLY decode Dolby B recordings like true Dolby. Chances are that you are archiving and your tapes are old enough to not make a difference. There are other companies that make A/D converters that you can use with a higher quality audio deck.
