a cassette is good for a quick recording dub, true- but check out the specs posted on the high-end 3.75 IPS machines- they blow away standard CD 44/16 res.

that goes without saying, how much better tape is than home-made WAV CD-R or MP3, which are even worse. I actually get more enjoyable sound from Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo in AC-3, dubbed to my DVD-R machine from analog sources, if I wanted digital dubs. The machine will store 60 hours of high-rez music inside the box itself.

A 3.75 IPS cassette deck is one of the great audio deals going right now, in the used market- I just bought a BIC T-3 for $35- how can that be beat ?
