One of the most recognizable issues of the cassette is the background hiss. Almost any person in this world (30 years-old and above, though) whom you ask about cassettes will complain about this particular thing: the hiss. C'mon, hear the noise. Magnetic tape has many good things, but it also has drawbacks, and one of them is the hiss. Most cassette enthusiasts don’t like the hiss but at the same time, many of them don’t care at all. So, how much hiss does the tape have and how to reduce it? In this article I will go in deep and explain everything you need to know about the noise of your cassettes and magnetic tapes. PS: Noise reduction systems will be explained in a future article
