Discogs, We Are Rewind, and Recording The Masters (RTM) have teamed up to deliver a refined portable cassette player and high-quality C60 blank tape, purpose-built for audiophiles and analog enthusiasts seeking authentic high-fidelity listening.

The exclusive Discogs Edition WE-001 combines modern convenience with retro charm, featuring a sleek aluminum alloy chassis in a striking Matte Black finish adorned with the Discogs logo — the only We Are Rewind model to wear this distinctive colorway.

Key Features

  • Premium Build — Durable aluminum alloy casing delivers a luxurious, tactile feel that elevates the classic cassette format.
  • Wireless Freedom — Built-in Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity lets you stream your cassettes to wireless headphones or speakers without cables, while a 3.5mm jack supports traditional wired listening.
  • Mixtape Ready — Each player includes a premium Discogs x RTM C60 Blank Cassette, engineered for exceptional analog recording with 60 minutes of high-quality tape time.
  • Long-Lasting Power — Integrated rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 12 hours of playback — no disposable AA batteries required.
  • Recording Capability — Stereo recording via 3.5mm input (compatible with Type I tapes) for creating your own custom mixes.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
