Best datasette for c64, please advice.

[TheThinker]

Hi there, I need a datasette for my c64:


Never had one before so I was wondering:


What’s the best datasette in your opinion for c64 I should buy and why?


Is really the 1530 the best deal? Or is there something better?




Also:


Which are the best cloned datasettes?



Many thanks

the 1530 is your best bet really,its easy to fix and easy to use if you know how,and its cheap

not really much to say its a datasette

i never had a clone,but there all basically the same in the way they work

Just get the 1530 (C2N), only real common issue is belts but you can get replacements on ebay.
