Cassette tape

I’m slowly but surely getting back into the analog thing via TT and Reel to Reel. We can all pretty much agree vinyl is different. Some people love it, some say it’s ok, some hate it and I say I like it because it’s differemt than digital. R2R is pretty awesome as well. In my opinion, it’s different and I like what I hear. But, what’s the thought on cassettes. Is there any usefulness? Think it'll make a comeback as well? Just curious. I have a chance at fantastic deal on a Nakamichi BX-300 deck. I owned one many years ago and besides the next level Dragon, this thing was pretty sweet. I like to get input from the forum and other thoughts before I indulge.

I, just this weekend, bought a stack of in-the-box Denon gear that had been in storage for 25 years.

In this stack was a DR-M14HX in like new condition.  I opened it up and re-lubed everything and made sure it was functioning properly.  

What a frickin' great machine.  I've had a blast this weekend listening to and even recording, (I have over 200 sealed, higher bias type cassette tapes from various manufacturers of the day). 

I've added this to my stable of: Nak LX3, HK CD391, Denon DRR-780.

I have forgotten how pretty damn good a cassette can sound.  No, it's not the new vinyl, but it's loads of fun and brings back simpler times...
