Cassettes - better than you don't remember
Techmoan
Techmoan's beginner introduction to the compact cassette, testing metal tapes and Dolby S noise reduction on a Sony TC-S1 deck. He checks whether a cassette can sound close to a CD when good tape and equipment are used.
HN commenters cite it whenever cassette quality comes up, as proof that cassettes sound good with decent gear, metal tape and Dolby noise reduction.
