Thing is that not everybody had the possibilities to get these high end devices at the time... so tapes were recorded using low quality recorders and sound quality would never be like this. Being so, the idea of cassettes generally was really bad, and the portable players werent the best too. I do my recordings today using a Technics B665 and now i can revenge those times where my recordings sounded bad too. I listen to tapes almost everyday its like an addiction. Thanks for this fantastic video!
Yeah, I bet we all used low end equipment back in those days and only now we can figure out what's the real limit of the cassettes, which seems to reach the highest levels. PS: It's not my video, it's from my friend Francisco, aka HIFI Squarepants.
That sounds great, I've got it going through my Xonar Essence STX II into a Kenwood Amp into Klipsch Herseys, all vintage except for the Xonar. What was the original source?
I hear that... Not to mention doing it using the cheapest tapes available. Anyone remember Laser brand cassettes? That was my fallback brand until a friend introduced me to Maxell XLII-S... The same friend who was so proud to get a 20-tape brick of Tonemaster cassettes/$7.99@local pharmacy, until he learned they degaussed within a week of first use!
