why would anyone bother with cassettes in this day and age
@HEKTIK because the sound is still decent on em
that and they're vintage tech
they take eveything cool about vinyl and throw it out the window without having the quality of CD
i just dont get it

why am i watching this video now
I have no interest in cassettes
guess i have nothing better to do
I still like them out of nostalgia sake, took apart and repaired one recently
they're comfy
yeah I bought one of those field recorders hippies took to woodstock
theyre good for buying old albums with shit masters on CD
other than that i really dont see why anyone would bother
standing with a microphone out capturing grateful dead bootlegs
vinyl at least has cool album art
Plain and simple.
I like it.
@Austin It's a copy of the Sony TPS-L2
I see.
Do you own it yourself?
I do
Maybe one should document some shit on some tapes. Nobody has players anymore, so nobody will ever listen to it. They will think it's some old ass shit.
It's brilliant. I need to buy into this idea.
hipsters are using cassette players all the time now
There's a whole library of service manuals stored on some old ass archival site
Used that to get schematics for mine
I've not seen one using a cassette player in 5-6 years.
Not around here.
Not even hipsters.
Are tapes expensive?
more expensive than they use to be, yes.
I see chink ones are going for 2-3 $ each.
I most tapes I've seen are about 3/4s the price of a cd
I mean music tapes
I got a bunch of classic rock tapes for £1 each
was p sweet
Kiss, Aerosmith
Seems great
