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!

Sorry GK
Hardly anything good, no wonder $1 a piece.
In fact I had a hard time finding 10 I wanted but I did.
Not one Beastie Boys cassette to be seen though. 
yea nothing like the hiss of a cassette  tape…give me a break...
Too funny
Thanks for that though...
I've spent all day with my cassettes!  I won a huge auction on E-Bay for around 125 recorded on once, (well according to the seller, but all of them are in excellent condition, tapes & cases).  Included were Maxell XLII90, XLII100, XLIIS90, XLIIS100, TDK SA90, SA-X90, SA-X100.  I paid next to nothing for all of these.  The tape gods were certainly smiling on me that day.

I have a commercial/professional tape degausser that came out of a recording studio, that does a fantastic job at cleaning these up.

I'm now on my third recording of the day.  So far these have been perfect.  Hopefully most will be the same.

Boy, I sure love this.  Hands on and very rewarding.  What a BLAST!!!
