I had exactly one cassette, a mix cassette, I had made for my wife over 35 years ago, while we were dating. It has a lot of emotions and memories tied up in there for both of us.
I tried a “no-name” crap Walkman type player from Amazon and it was just that, CRAP. Back it went. OK, a Goodwill trip is in order, maybe I’ll get lucky.
I did! It’s no Nakamichi Dragon but it’s a nice component dual-well cassette deck by Pioneer and it sounds VERY VERY GOOD. We listened to the entire thing, noting every song. I’ll rip it to my Mac Mini or just develop a playlist on Qobuz or Tidal.
This $6.99 Goodwill find is very cool, but not as cool as my wife who puts up with me and my hobby even though she doesn’t quite get it.
Cassettes do sound pretty good. Mix recorded on Sony UCX90.
