Actually what I compared was that cassette played on my Nakamichi BX-1 and a CD played on a Samsung BlueRay player through my stereo system. The cassette was one I recorded years ago using a Pioneer cassette player recorder. The CD is a commercially recorded item.

The music on my iPod is what I recorded to my computer using GoldWave, saved as a wave. file, then transferred to the iPod as a wave file.we

However, your point is valid. "Better" is subjective. And other cassettes may not pass the same test. But given a good cassette and a decent player analogue most likely will give better results that digital. YMMV.
