The back of a receiver should have Tape IN, or Cass In, or Aux In. You want to stick to search terms like Amp, Stereo Amp, Receiver, Amplifier, these are all the same purpose units in 99% of the cases used almost anywhere.
Those mini-rack things from the 80's and 90's have enough for you and usually come with speakers. Therefore the "integrated amplifier" has all the preamp and power amp inside one unit.ĭo you have a craigslist in your area? because people are giving away these for free, or otherwise cheap. You will not need to go there, to get a power amp like these, because you will need more equipment.
Do one thing, google Stereo Power Amplifier so you will know what it looks like, Power Amps are used by DJ's, sound for live bars, and for high-end home audio systems.

But, if you actually wanted to listen to something with any kind of dynamic range, the 30 plus year old decks would be your best option.A receiver is the same as an integrated amplifier with a literal radio receiver tuner section built in to the unit. So, if you just want something to go back and listen to old book on tapes or something of that nature, they are fine. Often not even being able to play tapes at a consistent speed creating flutter during playback. These are literally made for pennies and are terribly unreliable. These days, every single new tape deck is made by one legacy manufacturer in China. It became so prevalent that the majority of studio released tapes were mastered using this process. Dolby, for example, was a certification that was licensed for use and is not available anymore. Back then there was a myriad of hardware manufacturers that not only made better quality decks, but they also were able to take advantage of things like Dolby noise reduction, so-called metal tapes and other standardized protocols that just are not used today. If you're asking why should you buy a tape deck from the 90's to enjoy the tape collection they already might have, that actually is related to achieving the best sound reproduction possible for the format. If you're asking why anyone should spend any money in 2021 on cassette tapes, that's probably mostly due to the collector side of the hobby and not necessarily about chasing the dragon of perfect sound reproduction. For very little money you can get a decent mic and clean pre-amps that can produce stellar results with the right skill, room and musician. There's also a desire for musicians to get some less common sounds into what is now a very much digital/clean centric world. It's like buying a t-shirt to support the band.

Lot's of bands, including myself sell them as physical tokens more than music to actually be consumed, along with a download code for a digital download, along with streaming availability. We're almost getting that now with memes that are super compressed from being reposted, which almost adds to the humour at times. I imagine macroblocking and banding in video will be seen as retro/classic not too long into the future when we have far better compression techniques or just straight bandwidth. Look at all the VHS style overlays on everything nowadays. Physical media is something more and more people realise they enjoy (actual stuff to own, hold), as well as the retro factor which is something that'll always exist, in what way I'm not sure.
