Do You Miss Your casettes

[reubensm]

Yea, agree with you 100%. Cassettes are fun and there is a lot of nostalgia assocaited with them. When there were no CDs, and LP records/equipment were a bit too expensive to fit in an average school kid's pocket money-based budget, cassettes were the saviour. With a few hundred bucks from savings, one could build a decent cassette player and get started. Those were the days!!

Not any more
went home and got all my favourite tapes out of storage. Found everything except a willie nelson and james last tape i was particularly fond of.
Hooked it up to my newly acquired old tape deck, and I'm good to go

Here's one one of the better quality tapes in my collection. It's a dire straits alchemy chrome tape recorded with normal bias.

If cassettes is what you prefer, then chrome is a must. The normal bias ones sound a lttile dull and lifeless. But hey its still an analog medium not digital so it will have that something which is missing in CD recordings. I have a pile of them lying unused since a decade. Waiting to convert them in 24/192 flac format

Cheers

Hi, once you convert them to flac format ... if you are willing to chuck them out, kindly let me know. Coz I still do buy/collect audio tapes.

I am still playing them. I love them.

I find the rotating spools hypnotic....I can spend hours sitting close to the deck and watching them move......

..and I am envious of all of you guys who have such hi end tape decks...

Enjoy while you still can....

best regards,
