Anyone into cassettes?

I recently picked up a Nakamichi BX300 for a couple of bills on Ebay and after replacing the idler tire and the two belts, this baby sounds better that any cassette deck I've owned previsouly, and I have been playing pre-recorded tapes for the past week in analog heaven. Finally a deck that sounds amazing on Dolby B with commercial tapes.

I also won a Dragon for a good price on auction and will send this out for restoration as needed.

Anyone else into cassettes as an alternative form of analog heaven? Some of those mid to late 80s recordings really have wonderful punch and extension.

I recently gave away about 3-400 cassettes that I'll never listen to and currently have over 400 cassettes of mostly recorded music and some pre-recorded music.

I had a Nak BX-125 for many years, sold it, and now have two 3 head cassette decks that I really like. A Harman Kardon TD392 and an Aiwa ADF-660 that were both very inexpensive.

And I agree with Ebuzz, cassettes are the next best thing to vinyl of which I have about 1200 LPs and only 2-250 CDs

Yes, I just loved when it clicked and changed tracks in the middle of your favorite song. That, the the pack of matches propped underneath to make it sound normal :)
