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.

Hi,

Cassettes are definitely making a comeback. I don’t think they will be as popular as vinyl, but will have their fanbase. I can already see this trend here in Europe. Adequately popular band’s album in audio cassette format already goes for around $5 here. When just a few years back you could have gotten most of the cassettes for free. People would just through them out. Facebook is starting to fill with groups dedicated to audio cassettes as well. I myself got back into them too and even started making wooden(woodgrain for the win) cassette stands. If you are interested you can find them on my Etsy store: HolyMolyDesignsCo 



I’m also looking for a new deck. Any budget-friendly recommendations?
