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!

Actually I am pretty sure that yes the zombie apocalypse IS upon us!

And Richopp…… could not afford the C2 but my C3 convertible only has a single speaker AM radio in it that I think works, as you say who listens to music with the top down in a classic Vette.....

I guess by that definition my humble Sony Professional portable cassette player is a great machine. Hooray! 🤗
Will give you a bye on that one GK as you are " off the grid" which changes a lot of things.

I would disagree if I could. It also helps to have inserted a Perfect Path Card inside the cassette player case and to color the cassettes. Yes, I know what you’re thinking, “coloring cassettes, are you out of mind?” 🤪

OP here. Lots of support and some naysayers on cassettes. FYI - the LP was recorded on my Nak 500 Dual tracer (still have but pretty worn out) and played back on a newer (!) NAK BX 2.
