      Comments about Califone 1300AV Portable Mono Cassette Recorder:

      This item deserves the lowest rating (not even 1 star), i.e., it shouldn't exist or B&H shouldn't carry it in the first place! Having tried this item out for merely 10 seconds, I consider my 10-year good old Sony portable pocket-size cassette player/recorder a gift from heaven. Not only this item at issue made my music the least audible, it added a lot of background noise to it. I didn't expect it to produce extreme quality but at least a reasonable one.[...]
