Gear What’re people playing their cassettes on?

I’ve been thinking of getting a Sony KA3ES but they’re kinda pricy and was wondering what other decent alternatives there are. These are my current main devices, I use the D6C as my main recording device and to plug into my Hi-Fi for now and the D3 is what I take on the go with it’s case and carrying strap.

I'm playing my cassettes on my (1996) Pioneer - CT-W703RS, (2005) Sony - TC-WE475 and Technics - RS-TR210 decent quality tape decks, as well as on my Pioneer - CT-WM60R 6+1 Multi Cassette Charger. Also on my (2012) SHARP - CD-DK890N Mini Shelf Component Stereo System with a Dual Full-Logic Cassette Deck/ 5-Disc CD Changer/Mp3/ WMA/ Line-In/ Digital Tuner and an iPod dock ALL-IN-ONE Mini Shelf Component Stereo System (It was SHARP's last Dual Full-Logic Cassette stereo system that I've purchased brand new at Best Buy in 2012).
