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 have about 1100 cassettes home recorded mostly from the mid-70s thru the early 90s.  I play them on a Nakamichi CR7-A and BX 300, both rebuilt and serviced by Willy Hermann. Over the last 2 years, I have re-recorded on TDK MA, SA-X and HX-S tapes the beautiful Blue Note vinyl jazz reissues and they sound fantastic.  These particular cassettes were originally purchased from the early 80s thru the early 90s.  They have been stored well but it is stunning how great they sound after all these years.  While I love showing off my vinyl on a nice system, I blow the audience away with the beautiful NAKs.  Cassettes are far from dead.
