erik_squires OP I just spent a bunch on cassettes, a couple grand, which everyone tells me is old technology. Was that wrong? 😳 VHS or Beta? >>>>>Master Beta |
Not at all. I recently fired up my trusty Nakamichi cassette deck and started to play cassette tapes again. Its been a few years since I last played cassettes, and a lot of improvements have been made to the system, including a judicious effort to clean up the AC power. I have to say ... well recorded cassettes sound really ... really good. Frank |
