Here we go folks ... a really simple poll. We are talking about the best possible tape (cassette) system vs. a standard CD player. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

| Too much hiss on tape, they break often and wear out, not to mention magnetic neutralisation if you don't play them for a while |

CD is my answer too although I LOVE TAPES, I can still listen to them in particular, some metallic ones or cromium had excellent sound!!! |

I think the best possible tape system would sound better than any CD, since tapes are analogue (as vinyl). ------------- Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends... |

Of course it would still have to be a real, existing system for standard cassettes - there are some really expensive ones. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

a)CD does this more efficiently and so requires fewer bits to represent the same information b)there are more particles per second of music on tape than there are bits on a CD c)the other noises on cassettes which don't exist on CD are so much louder than this that they render it inaudible. |
