“The MXCP-P100 offers stereo playback and a brass flywheel to keep things steady, which Maxell claims delivers “high sound quality.” But let’s be real—this isn’t an audiophile’s dream. Built on a Tanashin cassette mechanism, it’s reliable but not the stuff of vintage Sony lore. There’s no Dolby noise reduction, so you’ll get that classic tape hiss and crackle—flaws that, for many, are the whole point. “The brass flywheel keeps rotations smooth for great sound,” Maxell says, but it’s more about charm than crystal-clear fidelity.”
