Most of the folks out there that "Think" digital sound better than analog are usually under the age of 25 and have never heard a really good analog system or have never owned a decent quality tape deck.They only know what they've heard.If you grow up on ipods and mp3 players then that's all you know.Old school Folk's like me that grew up in the 70's and 80's or even earlier know what good analog sounds like,and personally i would not spend 2 cents on a ipod or any kind of mp3 player because i think they sound horrible but that's just me.Now i am going to go listen to some ELP recorded on a 1986 Maxell XLII recorded in DBX on a Yamaha K-2000 cassette deck,Peace..

I use mine for mostly spoken word these days, books, Lenny Bruce stuff etc
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 ?
Pride of ownership.
