Favorite obsolete formats.....

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.

Guess cassette running at 3 3/4 ips is not another format, still have a few. Vaguely remember elcaset...

Thanks for mentioning 4-track. Never heard of it before now. 

@yogiboy ...my brother had a later version of a 'car record player', bright chromy underdash trash.
I suppose it would work acceptably if your suspension allowed one to float on down the highway, but this didn't in his 56 Chevy....
It could do broadjumps with a minor road wrinkle.
No clue as to how many grams it didn't work at...

Your memory test:  'Vibrasonic delay units'?
A set of long springs within a equally long metal box?
Gave the sound that 'echo' that was novel....

Until you hit a good sized bump....

The sound elicited by those springs hitting the inside of that box was 'memorable'...*L*

Strange to see SACD get mentioned.  The format is still growing and should be releasing its 15,000th release later this year.
