Favorite obsolete formats.....

What are your favorite of these? I’m unsure if any stations broadcast in AM stereo nowadays. 8 track, Mini-disk, Cassette, VHS, CED, Beta, DAT, Reel to Reel, Am Stereo, Laserdisc, Quadraphonic, Dolby FM. Surely many formats have been overlooked.

Cassette, without a doubt. Still listen to them occasionally, and if you have good ones (usually from the early/mid-80’s to mid-90’s) they usually sound great.


......and CD’s. See above, but late 80's and well into the 2000’s.
