Cassettes still rock!

I find that most haters of cassette tape have simply never heard a great recording on a great tape on a great tape machine.

Once they have, well most of the snide remarks fade away...….

Good luck lissnr and I hope it does not disappoint!
Nice deck!

I've got one of the best decks made, and I bought a ton of metal blank tape and enjoyed it very much. That was quite awhile ago. Compared to my other sources presently, it's mediocre.

Cassettes are just fine if you're into "mediocre".

We will agree to disagree my friend.
I find nothing mediocre about a lot of my cassette recordings tbh.

I also marvel at the excellent sound quality a well recorded cassette can provide.  As I've noted in other posts, I still listen to - and enjoy - cassette recordings I made in the late 90's and early 2000's of a great weekly jazz program hosted by Miles Willis on KPFT.  Still listen to these cassettes from time to time.
