A good cassette from the mid 80s to mid 90s, on naked Grado SR-60 headphones sounds very close to electrostatic speakers in terms of dynamics and speed. Awesome, dude! Get the ones on Capitol, Elektra, Virgin, Atlantic, I.R.S., Reprise, MCA, and others.
Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound?
Wondering why more people aren't into reel to reel if they're looking for the ultimate analog experience? I know title selection is limited and tapes are really expensive, but there are more good tapes available now than ever before.
People refer to a recording as having "master tape quality", well you can actually hear that master tape sound through your own system and the point of entry to reel to reel is so much more affordable than getting into vinyl. Thoughts?

rrcpa34 @cd318This is known as ostentatious ignorance. >>>>How so? Signal to Noise ratio is measurably much better. Dynamic Range is measurably much better. A lot depends on the source material, what with the loudness wars and everything. It also depends on WHERE THE MEASUREMENT IS MADE. It’s not 🍏 and 🍎 But all things being equal digital measures better. |
