Cassettes still rock!


Played Dire Straits debut album last night - from a Maxell XL 2s cassette recorded from the vinyl over 30 years ago. Best sound I've heard on my system in months. I have the SACD, but doesn't have the organic sound from the tape/vinyl. Dig out your old cassettes!

I agree! When I play same brand tape on my Nakamichi it is incredible. Came of vinyl or from my good Yamaha analogue tuner so it is that sound you mentioned. Must be why so many of us bought those higher end tape decks, love it! Thanks for posting !
The walkman was able to provide music freedom for the first time, so good. The good home tape decks like Teac, Nak, Revox, were superb for making music for me to play on my car Nakamichi cassette player. They made a few models in the mid eighties that were high priced but very good sounding when paired with ads speakers! Oh the days! I just loved recording my music from albums I owned onto tape. My turntable NOW is way better than the  model I recorded from back then, but I used a very good cartridge.
