In Reply to: why the interest in cassette decks and reel to reels posted by 3db on October 3, 2007 at 08:16:54:
partly the lure of things spinning that make sound and partly being able to afford junk that in a previous life, I could only dream about. I'm not going to get into the analog versus digital debate. It was foolish of the industry not to amalgamate the two formats. In the constant effort to always market something 'new' and/or 'improved', manufacturers often kill the good products/formats they have. I have nothing against digital, but I feel it's a pretty volatile medium right now, with lossless compression, DVD-A, SCCD. May the winner take the spoils....but in the meantimes, I'll stick with what I know and enjoy-LPs, cassettes and R2R. Whatever camp you're in, i.e. digital or analog (or both), I don't hear anyone saying that high-end analog is crap or sounds lousy.
