CASSETTE - A DOCUMENTARY MIXTAPE

Hello and Welcome Back.... Interesting video

A look at the Audio Cassette and the Compact Tape making a comeback....

Be quick, not sure how long the video will remain on Youtube..

CASSETTE - A DOCUMENTARY MIXTAPE

For me personally, i grew up with audio tapes.

Probably the best thing i can say about tapes (apart from sound) is depending what type of tape you used, depended on the type of sound you got or the amount of detail the tape reproduced.

The choice was staggering, you had TDK, BASF, Fuji, Sony, Maxell, AGFA, Memorex, Phillips, Technics, Scotch and Thats / Triad to name a few

My Favorites were 'Thats', Sony & TDK

Then you had a choice of Normal, Chrome and Metal, so again the sound changed from standard to very detailed depending on the type of tape you brought.

For me, my number one choice was 'Thats' Chrome Cassette's, seriously, the sound from these tapes were mind blowing, so good. (see below)



The only problem at the moment is the lack of Cassette Decks.

You can buy decks that are 20-40 years old, Made in Japan but parts failing (mostly rubber belts) or new decks made in China, no Chrome / Metal position selection and No Dolby... and bloody expensive for what they are...

Although, i still have a decent cassette collection, i will stick to my CD's, with less working parts and decent sound, i will wait for the day when the faithful Audio Tape makes a full comeback ...

HINT, HINT SONY
