Cassettes still rock!


Played Dire Straits debut album last night - from a Maxell XL 2s cassette recorded from the vinyl over 30 years ago. Best sound I've heard on my system in months. I have the SACD, but doesn't have the organic sound from the tape/vinyl. Dig out your old cassettes!

There is some enterprising person on eBay who sells a pack of those little felt square spacers that sometimes fall off after 30 years or so and must replaced. The little felt squares are adhesive backed which is a relief. 🤗
GK
I have had a number of the felt backing pads fall off due to adhesive aging.
Pretty simple to use a pair of tweezers and a dab of superglue and voila, the original is back in place never to come off again.
You just gently pull a loop of tape out to work on the area.

That is of course if you have not lost the original felt pad entirely, I have found that they are usually in the case when they fall off.

Good luck to all and long live the humble cassette!
It makes a lot of sense that someone from U.K. would actually enjoy the fiddly exercise of putting the original felt squat back on. 🤗 
Its only fiddly if you are a total klutz.
Takes 2 minutes max.

Its therapeutic...… lmao!
