stoopid Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 If they could solve the tape stretch and tangle it would be great! And horrible sonic noisefloor, general poor fidelity (even with dolby), signal bleed, susceptibility to melt/heat damage, and players needing maintenance (either cleaning heads or opening them to replace worn/broken belts). Other than that, a stellar easy peasy music playback medium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I like it :PThe physical packaging of vinyl is unmatched in the music industry. Playing the FLAC file is greatly enhanced by holding the actual album jacket, the liner notes, etc. THAT is the added value of vinyl. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Never bought too many of them in the first place. Only used blanks to record my vinyl and CDs for the car, boom box or to record radio interviews and concerts. CDR's replaced them later on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Better keep posting, to keep the thread rumbling on. I have all my old cassettes from 80s and 90s and want to get a bit of a buzz going about their value. :cool: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
