  Do you *seriously* believe that the cassette tape's capabilities exceed those of current digital and vinyl technologies? If so, send me your address and I'll send you a nice crisp Benjie with a self-addressed stamped envelope so that you can post to me some of that great shit you're apparently smoking...

      He does have a point, though. In some respects, the cassette format is superior to 44/16 digital. It is a matter of personal preference as to which is better, albeit neither has "perfect sound". When it comes to "forever" the CD has a huge edge, however.
      
      I have digitally remastered many cassette tape dubbing masters and rarely have I found it possible to transparently reproduce the sound off my Nak CR-7a while using the 44/16 format. No problem at 192/24 however...

        Hi maybe 16/48 is enough. In the end is the format selected for DAT recording by professionals.
        I think that the difference from 44.1 to 48 is remarkable.
        When i listened for the 1st time a dvd movie soundtrack in 16/48 i heard more music than with CD.
        I think that a 48kHz recording can give a better high frequencies reproduction.
        If the CD were 16/48 the world would be a better place ... less unsatisfaction.
        
        Kind regards,
