Straight from China via AliExpress, I present to you the FIIO CP13 Portable Stereo Cassette Player. As I am a self-funded channel, I was hesitant about spending $100 on a cassette player. After watching several other reviews for the last couple of months, I was intrigued. Is this player that much better than the other, inexpensive deck currently being sold?

Before creating this episode, I did a lot of listening to both my old and new cassettes, and I was surprised by the playback and sound quality.

While cassette players aren't for everyone, if you are looking to invest in a new deck, this might be the one for you; especially if you're a little reluctant to invest in a used, retro player.
