The
cassette rules in the garage, with a few other vint rock selections.
Some of the metal tapes are really clear, a little on the tinny side, but clear as a bell. When under a car, most of the sound is muffled to a large degree anyways...being old Country as we used to call it...Merle, Johnny and the rest of the good old boys, but with some Garth, Travis, etc. in the mix.
The player is a decent
Onkyo, that runs like a top, and build like any army truck. No probs...except the cassette door is getting slower all the time. Must be arthritis?
Like other vint formats, the cassette seems to be enjoying a bit of a heyday in the past while. Looked up and found that
"Throbbing Gristle" (who ever that is?) sold in 2014, for
$2200. (box set). And another
"Marblehead Johnson" sold (couldn't get the date) for
$4087. Both were sold on "Discogs". Something to chew on.
On the other hand, I don't think Jim Nabors will come close to either of these cassette sales.
First LP's...now cassettes...8 tracks next?
