8 track tape vs 1st press vinyl


Sam here and the fact that 8 track tape is a tape to tape transfer from the master reel to reel tape gives it the edge as far as overall tone and soundstage although vinyl has a wider stereo image it sounds more 2d than 8track 3d soundstage in my opinion.

Erich here and to my young ears when 8 Track was in it's twilight, it was nowhere close to being superior to vinyl. The amount of tape hiss was the worst of the tapes I ever listened and cassette simply blew it away. Reel to Reel....no question it sounded better than vinyl of the day. Like what was mentioned above...why is this even being debated....
