What's In Your Tape Cassette Deck Tonight?

When I got back into vinyl, I was surprised how few pops and clicks got through to the speakers with a good turntable,arm and phono amp. Having given away my 1000 or so cassettes to Good Will, because I could not handle tape hiss and the wobble in sound, Are these areas which drove me crazy handled better today, or just tolerated better by others?

I did keep my Yamaha CK 720 deck. So if there is a resurgence I will sell it, so someone else can enjoy.

Wow, Rar1, I think we musta been twin sons separated at birth! I used to make some *killer* tapes using the hi-end gear (Tandberg, B&O, Revox, etc.) in the shop I worked for.

If you used a top-quality deck like the B&O 9000 and the very best tapes - TDK, Maxell, or Denon metal - and employed Dolby B HxPro to encode, the resultant sound quality was astonishing. I probably made 200 - 300 tapes back in the day and sure wish I could find them now - many good memories to be found in that 1/4 inch tape....

PS: And I, too, cannot be bothered to make up playlists nowadays, don't know why that is...

Alot of dust!!!

Dust. Lots of dust.

My Avalon has a great cassette player. 1983 Top 105 plus five songs I recorded off of KNAC in Long Beach. Plus assorted I recorded from KTYD in Santa Barbera. Helps remind me of days gone by.
