| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? tweak1 - I grew up in the 305 and I found FM radio starting in the early to mid-70s to be pretty good with WSHE and Zeta 4. For awhile, even WBUS (The Magic Bus) broadcasting from the Beach was pretty strong too. | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? To the OP’s question...I was not an “audiophile” as a teenager in the 70’s but became a big cassette fan that continues to this day.

| LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago? Harold re: Doobies’ LP. Could not agree with you more. Another great sounding one in their canon is Toulouse Street...particularly the title cut. Spectacular sound on my first pressing. Those olive green label WB LPs are hard to beat. | |
