Cassette just won't lie down and die will it ? ;) Must say I do miss it.

Each has it's own unique function within the system too.

nearly bought one last month but resisted the temptation.

Interesting the way you have customised the fascias on some, presumably to help with your problematic eyesight, box!

I've got 3 cassette decks, one of which needs a bit of tlc which will hopefully be applied in a week or so.
Nowt wong with the medium, imo, it can sound just fine - in fact it has that 'analog feel' that LP lovers would recognise - and I have a fair bit of music which doesn't seem to be available other than on cassette.

I keep an eye out in charity shops for interesting pre-recorded cassettes. :)

A few years ago I took a nice Denon 3 head cassette deck to the Scalford Show - there was much sniggering when some folks came into the dem room, but most were surprised and agreed that it sounded perfectly good.

It does help with my vision, but also the fact that I'm a Toffee.
I agree with you about the sound, I 'never' use Dulby

Dulby .... :D

Actually, I've heard that Dolby noise reduction can work fine but it needs to be in perfect adjustment or the frequency extremes drop right off.

I never use it either, even for pre-recorded tapes where it has been used in the recording process - I use tone controls to dial in the right amount of treble drop for each tape. Sounds great then. :thumbsup:



.... and what's a Toffee?!? :scratch:

Dulby is like muffled process third attempt; unnecessary colouration.
With even ferric tapes, hiss is not a problem.

A Toffee is someone who supports Everton F.C.
