Really great discussion. Personally I prefer tape to vinyl. I am an analog junkie, but tape, especially master tapes sound best. I also love using cassette. I have hundreds and hundreds from over the years that still sound wonderful. I have an audio buddy that records every LP on the first play to TDK SA cassette, then he gives the LP's away as gifts. His tapes, all made on an Advent 201 and sound
great. He's been doing this for over 40 years. The Advent is his main source for playback and I must say it sounds really good.
I have an Advent as well (and many others) but would never consider it my primary playback.
inna, did you mention what machine you were using? I'm curious.
I love tape. It sound better (to me) than any CD. In fact my favorite CD's are usually copied to 15ips half track reel to reel, which somehow makes them infinitely more listenable.
Enjoy your cassettes. I certainly do!
