RE: Framing the issue

If you are talking about most pre-recorded cassette tapes played on a typical player, then I would agree with you. I am talking about what the medium is capable of, which is to say the best available cassette tapes played on an excellent cassette player such as my Nak CR-7a. The bandwidth is good and the noise is low with metal tape, and noise is inaudible with Dolby C if that is used, although I prefer the noise as Dolby is not transparent musically.

If you are talking about durability, then there is no question that durability of cassette tapes is worse than LPs played on good equipment with great care.
