Cassettes still rock!

Cassettes didn’t sound that great 30 years ago either. At the time, I had a teac reel 2 reel tape deck and the teac blew away my akai glass head cassette deck, which I liked better than the nakamichi deck at the time.
i also have to say that r2r tape decks don’t sound that good at 7.5 ips either. I’ve had a couple of r2r decks with 15ips capability and they sounded much better at the higher speeds.

None of you are thinking about the quality of cassettes, you are thinking of the quality of your girlfriend in high school, and the music that was always perfect during that time in your life.

I agree ,tape sounds more dynamic than CD or vinyl.  I spoke to an electrical engineer awhile ago and he told me he recorded vinyl to a vhs tape and it improved the sound.  I could not get it to work for me.  Anyone out there who does this?

Cassettes may be fine if you are old enough to have loss your high frequency hearing.  The hiss is intolerable, even with dbx.  And they degrade.  Two thumbs down.
