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!

I know where a Dragon TT can be found - but it’s not going to be a $100 craigslist score...
I owned 2 Nakamichi decks, the Dragon and a 505. I used metal tape for 90% of my recordings and chrome for the rest. Back then it was amazing. Not even on the same planet with today’s source components.

Some people are vastly over pricing the Dragons.
Sure it was top knotch but in reality not truly much above a zx7 or zx9 which are likely the best bet in top end Nakamichi ownership for value vs performance.
Still, nothing worthwhile will be a $100 CL buy... lol
Used an old jvc tape,deck for years in my stereo, and records.
once cd hit the market, cassettes were boxed. Still boxed in basement,
Mercyful fate, Kreator, schenker, Hirax, onslaught, motorhead, Raven, tank, spartan warrior, crossfire, bathory, pestilence, trust, satan jokers, Celtic frost, and about 40 others.

 Most were played on my Panasonic rx-c45 little boom box.
 Miss being young! I’m sure we all do!

and no cassettes do not rock.
LP’s and cds’ are better.

but, you keep,rockin your cassettes!....enjoy
