Very good 2 head dual well cassette deck
I have never much liked the cassette medium. The frequency response was limited and there is too much noise. It is a limitation of the medium. My dislike was such that I never even owned one in a car. Then I leased a new truck. It came with a tape deck instead of a CD player. So, I bought a used Tascam 202 mk III dual well two head deck. (I paid $125 for it, which beats the heck out of the $600 retail) I figured Teac's professional studio brand would be pretty good. And I was right. It did a credible job of reproducing CDs and vinyl records for use in the truck. And for most sources, it was good enough for home use. But, I started purchasing (from a local used record store) half speed vinyl masters pressed by Mobile High Fidelity Labs and some Sheffield direct to disc albums. The Tascam made a valliant effort, but couldn't quite get the job done.

So, I bought a used Nakamichi RX-505. Once I had the NAK repaired and cleaned up, it blew the Tascam away. The NAK shows the flaws in the Tascam, which is that the Tascam runs out of steam in the top octive. On the other hand, the NAK has three tape heads, and cost three times as much in 1985 dollars, which is 5 times as much now.

Other than that, the Tascam is a very good deck, particularly at its on the street price. A quick trip to Best Buy or the Good Guys will bear out that it is far better than the junk they sell for the casual user's home. The Tascam is well built, has lots of features, and the transport works flawlessly, quietly and quickly. The features include: recording two masters at the same time; high speed (2X) tape duplication; two microphone inputs where they belong, on the front; input volume level and balance controls; dolby B and C with HX Pro; and intro check, CD synchronization and blank scan.

The front mic jacks have proven useful particularly for recording speakers and meetings. I currently use the Tascam to transcribe tapes to CD through my computer.

Strengths:
Lots of useful features, good build quality, smooth operation, front microphone jacks, dolby HX Pro

Weaknesses:
Only two heads, no bias trim to fix top octive.
