Digitally remastered vinyl record? Seriously?

Hi Geoffkait - am I right to therefore think that casette tapes are therefore a genuine high end music source? or am I reading this incorectly?

Cassettes sound better than CDs.  You can read it any way you prefer.

That is interesting. I guess I have never heard top quality cassettes - that's all. I am merely asking out of curiosity than criticism. What cassette deck would you go for?

I am usually listening to a vintage Sony Walkman portable cassette player, I have a bunch including the Sony Professional Portable Cassette Player. I use vintage Sony ultralight headphones. I listen to standard issue commercial audio tapes as original as humanly possible. Generally speaking I find audio cassettes much more true to actual musical instruments than CDs and more dynamic as well. One assumes it’s due to no house AC, no interconnects, no big old speaker cables, no power cords, no fuses, no big honking transformers, no big honking capacitors, not a lot of wiring period for that matter. Oh, and also due to the medium of tape.  It's a natural medium.  It breathes.

I have a bunch including the Sony Professional Portable Cassette Player.

geoffkait... is that the tc-d5m professional player/recorder?
Just interested, as a former cassette lover. And did you ever own the Pro Walkman player/recorder?
