Hi-Fi and Home Cinema systems can often be a centre point for many people within their homes. However, and in contrast, some people also wish to keep their audio components away from sight in discreet locations. But, in order to make sure your components are seated safely, a look into stands, racks and other related Hi-Fi furniture is an essential.

In the previous blog entry, Integrating Older Components into your Set-up. Part 1 of 2, we looked at how and why people are choosing to re-commission their vinyl records of yesteryear, by using their original, high-end turntables.

This edition of the blog will address how to integrate the tape back into the everyday set-up. This will include a look at the cassette.
