After I read the customers review here I was a bit skeptical whether I should really buy me the cassette adapter. Which pull down the cartridge mainly because the problem with the radio, I was not convinced at first. However, this concern was totally in vain, in a Blaupunkt radio it works great. Although the cassette is pulled down ziemliech far there are no problems with the cable. The quality is perfectly adequate for music in the car and certainly better like what comes from the radio stations. My expectations of Sony were met at 100%.
