cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl.

On my 682ZX, recordings on a properly calibrated Metal tape sound really damn good. Better than the best vinyl? Not better or worse. Just different.
Then again, my Nak is a better cassette deck in the world of cassette decks than my turntable (a Denon DP-59) is in the world of tables. Perhaps on my next turntable upgrade, this will change.
But I love having both hobbies. Tape is fun.

Yea and black and white tv looks so much better than todays HD! Go away with this nonsense 

Not even close. Vinyl wins even with a moderate turntable and cartridge.

Analog tape, whether open reel or cassette, is Old Tech in search of a need.  Put your cassette tape deck next to your FM tuner, buggy whip and dial telephone.

Tape of any sort is just a storage system.  Where are you getting your music from?  Commercial pre-recorded tapes which are copied at high speed?  Cassette tape technology is so 20th century.

Ive got a Nak Dragon and love popping in a tape now and then. Its worry free unlike like vinyl, zero prep, it still sounds wonderful. I enjoy it and that is really all that matters. I have both analog and digital in my system, and love music in all its formats for the most part.
