cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl.

Well, I will say that a few years ago I picked up an MCS 3570 tape deck on the cheap at an estate sale, and that when I hooked it up and popped in in my cassette copy of Tracy Chapman’s first album, I was shocked to discover that it sounded on par with my turntable. Granted, my turntable at that time was a Technics SL-1500 running an Audio Technica AT-3600l. Still, having been at least a decade since I’d played a cassette tape, it sounded worlds better than I was expecting.

Oh, and by the by… MC Hammer did indeed release an Addams Family song, “Addams Groove”. It is of course, perfectly dreadful.

That Teac deck looks insane! Spendy when new also! Looks like one recently sold for $1500.

I’ve had a couple MCS receivers pass through my hands, and they were very decent units, and held their own against contemporaneous gear from the likes of Pioneer or Kenwood.

I actually just gifted my brother an MCS 6601 turntable this year. Solid performer.
