I bought my first cassette deck for a car in 1965 I believe. ( maybe 66). A Phillips as I recall. Paid over $200 back then. All my friends had 8 track and the music stores had thousands of 8 track tapes and half a dozen cassettes. I guess I was an early adopter. Over the years I collected vinyl and cassettes. Then switched primarily to CD and SACD. About three years ago I hooked up a cassette player to my system. After listening to cassettes for an afternoon I threw them all away. Too much compression in my opinion . Now I primarily listen to vinyl with a healthy dose of Tidal streaming to audition new music. Don’t miss
my old cassettes.
