ELCASSETTE (1976) MIGHT HAVE BEEN a better analog format that was easy to use but much better sounding than standard cassette machines. Std. cassettes are good but still lacking in a number of areas. I looked at a couple of the Sony decks on Ebay, but of course the tapes are hard to find. IF, if- they could have been manufactured in metal cases with equally well made recorders, I'll bet they could have rivaled LP's- as long as we're not talking about high-end turntables.
Future of Analog Technology Media
Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has any insights on what new analog technologies we might eventually see in regards to analog music media. Don’t get me wrong you would have to pry records from my cold dead hands at this point, but could there be something superior to vinyl records for capturing music in the analog format? If so, I have not heard of them, but this topic interests me greatly.
