We are past the time of cassette tapes and CD players integrated within the portable components we normally had but leave it to JVC to come up with a concept that somehow carries on tradition as far as size, shape and design. And you can bet that there are still a lot of people out there who are still looking for devices that can dub and transfer their old media files for continued audio entertainment.
The RC-A2 can be used to transfer or ‘dub’ music between the recordable formats like audio tape and MiniDiscs, and the JVC site even boasts about a feature called ‘Sound Lifter’ which seems to direct the audio depending on if the listener is sitting or standing near the stereo.
