I love the humility.
I grew up in the era of cassettes. I’d tape songs of the radio as a kid. In high school and college I would tape my records and the new “cds” so my music would be portable (Walkman and parents car).
My brothers and I bought a really good Yamaha three head cassette player. We did some a/b testing with cds and with Dolby c it was really hard to tell the difference.
Though with Walkman you’d have to clean the rubber rollers when they got a little gummed up and there was always the danger of the tape failing and getting pulled out.
- aksss 6y agoI think a cassette fresh out of the case was great, sound quality wise on good equipment, the big complaint was the wear and stretching over time. Then of course there was the eating of the tape, which you could recover from usually but there was usually a scar in the sound quality that you’d learn to ignore.
