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!

usual hifi and nostalgia virus. When had enough we dump the old media and recall when not satisfied from what we have (listen)!!!
Cassettes are compromised by width and speed, easily evident when compared to R2R and VHS, but is a very economic media, elegant to use in portable and different from norm. My experience in cassettes comes from 3 respectable machines i had in the past, Nak-bx300, Akai gx-f91, Sony tc-k990es, i have kept all the tapes and enjoy them greatly on my walkman, even though i regret selling my k990es. When i want to record a B77mk2 and a MDS-ja333es are better options.
