RIP Lou

I like this quote:
" “Nothing can match the sound of the CD,” he had told the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad. “It is absolutely noise and rumble-free. That never worked with tape … I have made a lot of record players and I know that the distortion with vinyl is much higher. I think people mainly hear what they want to hear.”

The advent of cassettes expanded my world forever, all thanks to this man. Still got a drawerful of personally curated, carefully titled 90-minute "playlists" in an easy-access drawer plus a functioning player straight into the preamp.

I deem tomorrow Make Believe It's International Cassette Tape Day. Good timing when your streamer and DAC are not on speaking terms.
