I would never say cassette is better than vinyl. However, I was in a studio in Rochester NY in the 80s and they were using NAD monitor series decks to record my friend's band. The resulting demo tape was outstanding. I also got to listen to demos from other bands and they too were amazing. I heard a demo from a local jazz band, Cabo Frio, which blew me away. I went out the next day and bought the NAD. I still have it, no longer use it for much other than old Dead bootlegs and a few other boots I cannot find in digital format. I never heard an MP3 that sounds as good as a tape made from the NAD or a couple NAK Dragons my friends still own. 

I had a Nak head unit in my 87 Mustang GT. The system in that car was better than many had in their homes. The installer told me the Nak would not skip on bumps at high speeds. Trying to prove him wrong I popped in some Little Feat and I took him for a test drive at 100mph over some RR tracks. He wasn't lying. Never skipped a beat.
