I'm holding out for the rebirth of Edison's Wax Cyl, it'll doubtless be
even more low fidelity. ;-)
I was a cassette fan, that said the prerecorded cassettes were
the absolute pits, they used really crappy bulk tape and compressed the living shit out of the recordings

... until I got a 3-head Nakamichi BX300 late last year. I bought it to play the 75-odd cassettes I had taped of off-air jazz performances (Jazz Alive, etc.) back in the 70s and 80s. Found that many of them sounded remarkable.
So I tried playing some of the commercial tapes I had from that era and found that, holy cow, they sound pretty damn good. How did that happen? Now a favorite stunt is to have one of them playing when an audiobuddy arrives, without telling him the source. Jaw-dropping ensues.
The NAD was an $800 deck back in the early '80's. Hey, lottsa good music, and the sound ain't bad at all. I certainly have no plans to get rid of the deck or cassettes.
same (non) plans as well
