Favorite obsolete formats.....


What are your favorite of these? I’m unsure if any stations broadcast in AM stereo nowadays. 8 track, Mini-disk, Cassette, VHS, CED, Beta, DAT, Reel to Reel, Am Stereo, Laserdisc, Quadraphonic, Dolby FM. Surely many formats have been overlooked.

Aside from the clumsy storage size; I miss Laser Disks. Mostly because after inserting them; they would just play. Minimal amount of superfluous warnings and ads. It’s frustrating when playing children’s DVD’s to have keep pressing buttons or be subjected to endless advertisements, year after year, for discs you’ve already purchased. It was also nice to be able to read librettos and linear notes without eye strain.
Cassettes with great SQ and recording on a top quality deck never ceases to amaze.
At times I miss my Nakamichi cassette - it’s gone as of around ‘89... I have an ADS that just began eating tapes. Also have a Tandberg R-R that needs an overhaul - but I have no real library to play, and will not waste my older years in recording stuff.
