Why are people surprised that cassettes are still made?

It should be obvious why they’re still around.

Cassettes are the cheapest form of music media out there. Anyone can buy one blank cassette and start recording. Equipment is cheap: all you need is a boombox.

If you want good analog recording, you can use them on a Tascam Portastudio 4-track machine—and it will sound great.

I went to a music store the other day and saw the same album on vinyl, CD, and cassette. Guess which one I bought?

It was the cassette. It was C$12—thus C$28 cheaper than the vinyl.

Here’s the kicker. If you have a good tape deck, and a quality recording, cassettes can sound better than vinyl. Even a type 1 cassette theoretically has better dynamic range than vinyl.

@atomicpoet @upmultimedia A Nakamichi is hardly a budget tape player. I'm also mystified by your choice of cassette over cd. I'd argue that devices that can play cds are cheaper, more widely available, and definitely higher sound quality than cassette players. Other advantages include no wind/rewinding, side flipping, tape stretch/wear, no wow/flutter of cheaply made commercial recording cassettes…

Before cds were available I was an enthusiastic user of cassettes. For people born after the mid '80s that want to experience cassettes, or old folks that are nostalgic for them, great!

@atomicpoet @upmultimedia Very true! Cassette always has hiss though.

@atomicpoet @upmultimedia I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make. Yes, open reel tape can be a very high quality choice, particularly the wide types that were used in professional studios. However, you were talking about people being surprised that cassettes are still being made…

Recording directly to cd is trivial these days. It's no more difficult than dubbing cassettes.

In any case, I'm not going back to cassettes. Been there, done that, good riddance.

No matter how "fast" personal computers get I still find myself waiting for them to do their job. I know that I'm not getting faster with age, but computers always seem slow. I guess part of it is the general inefficiency of modern software.

Picked up a very “tanned” super Famicom for ¥330 ($2.23) from the junk section of Hard Off. I’ll probably use it for parts unless I hit the 1-chip lottery.

Today’s mail brought these three Famicom games: Fantasy Zone, アルゴスの戦士 (Rygar), & 迷宮組曲 ミロンの大冒険 (Milon's Secret Castle)

My collection is pretty much complete now. The only games that I lack are overpriced, or those that I have no interest in.

Today the black cat brought me a brand new Nintendo Super Famicom wireless controller, sent by my secret agent in Hyōgo. I’ll be using it rather than the 8bitdo sn30 pro, which will now be dedicated to emulator duty.

Here it is next to a Nintendo Famicom/nes dogbone (wireless 8bitdo diy board equipped), & the revised controller that shipped with snes/Famicom jr systems.

Bought these at the local hobby recycle shop today. Star Wars although licensed is delightfully non-cannon, and this copy of Sqoon was < ½ the price & better condition than the copy I’ve been eyeing there for months.

It’s a shame that games don’t have leds anymore. 👹
