Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next?

"...you must have compared them to some pretty bad records on a plastic turntable."

Wow, that didn't take long! A plastic turntable...yeah, right. See what I mean?

I don't expect, or want, a cassette renaissance. If that ever happens I'll have to compete with everyone else and prices will increase as they have for re-issue vinyl, or old vinyl for that matter. I bought a ton of vinyl years ago when everyone said it was dead. Always try to buy things when nobody else wants them. Like I said..just enjoy!

Let's bring back VHS! Everyone knows it is as good as DVD and Blu-Ray! :-)

Wasn't the CD sold as "perfect sound forever"?

As a matter of fact, I just bought a laserdisc player last week, too. I love the video quality (particularly on my Sony Bravia LCD TV). It has a very film-like quality. I appreciate it because of (and despite) it's "flaws".

Bring back the Edsel and Corvair.

Nrenter, that's probably a good analogy. I think the idea of VHS making a resurgence is pretty far fetched. Don't misunderstand, I'm not replacing my CDs and vinyl with my
cassette collection. The point is that you can get great
sound from a quality cassette player and a Stax headphone set-
up if you try, and at a competitive price. FYI, tubed Stax units are very listenable for any medium and you don't need a dedicated room.
