Still, seeing your BX-1 brought back happy memories of the time when I discovered that high quality cassette recorders (ones that followed precisely Philips's specification) could make as good a recording as open spool reel-to reel recorders at 7.5ips, but with much greater convenience.

    Happy days!

    I've just realised, I have at least 3 tape decks, and not a single cassette to play on them!

    Like me - maybe it's time to pass them on to someone else who can make better use of them.

    Or buy some cassettes! Back in the day, I was always vinyl. Used my Aiwa (something or other) to record compilation tapes for the car but that was it. I had maybe two or three pre-recorded cassettes, one was OMD, can't recall the others. Could be fun to revisit the format?

    Well, I’m using DAC and HiRes files mostly but I like vintage analogue as well. Recording and listening tapes brings me positive emotions. Right now:

    Spinning this again as it is just so good on vinyl compared to the CD IMO.

"A Momentary Lapse of Reason" was originally recorded on a mix of analogue and digital by the band and then transferred to full digital for final mastering before being committed to CD or Vinyl. A similar process occurred with "The Division Bell". It appears that not much care at the time was taken with producing the vinyl versions of either albums, remember it was the age of the CD back then. From what I can find out subsequently nearly all Pink Floyds albums have been re-mastered at The Mastering Lab, chosen to get the best from the original masters with a view to getting a better vinyl result. Some cynics would say it's all a marketing ploy, well maybe but however the proof is in the pudding.

    So I took the plunge and purchased both the above and I found both to be very good IMO. They certainly have all the dynamics and vibrancy you would expect, and they are very enjoyable. As I picked them up online at 50% discount I think they are a bargain buy,

    Pink Floyd ‎– The Division Bell
    Label: Parlophone ‎– 0825646293285, Pink Floyd Records ‎– PFRLP14

    Country: Europe
    Released: 26 Aug 2016

    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    Analog Inputs: Pro-Ject Signature 10 TT & arm, Benz Micro LP-S, Michel Cusis MC, Goldring 2500 and Ortofon Rondo Blue cartridges, Hitachi FT5500 mk2 Tuner

    Digital:- Marantz SA-KI Pearl CD player, RaspberryPi/HifiBerry Digi+ Pro, Buffalo NAS Drive

    Amplification:- AudioValve Sunilda phono stage, Krell KSP-7B pre-amp, Krell KSA-80 power amp

    Output: Wilson Benesch Vector speakers, KLH Ultimate One Headphones

    Cables: Tellurium Q Ultra Black II RCA & Chord Epic 2 RCA, various speaker leads, & links


    I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.
