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!

Think I have two of them in my cassette drawers right now GK.
Which ones are you needing?

I was gifted a Technics RS-B100 three head cassette deck (1984-87) in primo condition.  Anybody know the current value of this unit? I see some crazy prices online for them.  
I am debating on whether to keep it or sell it.  It’s been decades since I had a cassette deck and am not sure I would actually use it along my vinyl/cd/streaming options. But this thread is making me think twice! Please advise and thanks in advance!

I totally agree! I have my old Nakamichi dragon - playing with McIntosh MAC6700 with Wilson Watt 8's- friends can't believe how good cassettes (35 yrs old) still sound!

Sorry GK
Hardly anything good, no wonder $1 a piece.
In fact I had a hard time finding 10 I wanted but I did.
Not one Beastie Boys cassette to be seen though. 
More to discover
