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!

I have a large collection of bootleg cassette tapes and a Nak Dragon to play them on.  

A tape of a live concert directly fed from the mics to the deck, even on a cassette, can be really something.  It's a form of "master" recording, not a copy, like all LP's and almost all RtoR, so they have a quality of "aliveness" that is not there even on "live concert" LP's.  Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. 
   The specs of cassettes are poor, of course, compared to LP's, RtoR or CD/SACD, and they deteriorate with time.  They can still hold some fantastic music. 
You guys are jogging my memory. Most of my cassettes are of me and my band playing mediocre if enthusiastic rock and roll. Now, if I only had a cassette player to play them on...

Sums up the cassette single of our band I found today( and played )quite admirably.
What we lacked in talent we made up for in enthusiasm and volume!
Awesome! I still have a 3-head Denon deck from the early '90s and my old mix tapes sound great!!
