More people need to see this video, cassettes can sound really good, especially if you make recordings on chrome and metal tapes on a high end or professional tape deck, but remember you also need a high end or professional deck to play back, this does not mean just buy any name brand player because most of them were average and awful

Very speedy

The pre-recording CHROME tape has some delay sound when the music was play finished to the end, but it didn't happen it if you using major brand of blank cassette tape for recording the music

Its dangerous to play picture disc?? I ask because I have bought and I don't know, I'm afraid that the image will disappear. Does the image get damaged??

As long as people buy cheap rubbish, cheap rubbish will be sold. Lovely demo of your rather excellent walkman. It is the pinnacle of portable cassette playback.

Sound of the cassettes DOES NOT SUCK.After the Vinyl it's the audio cassettes, make no mistake. CD s are no where close to listening comfort when compared. The Vinyl and the cassettes should make an urgent COME BACK. The Vinyl are there, but expensive, They should be more in numbers along with the audio cassettes. The online music has finished off everything.

Thank You so much!!!

This video makes me happy. Huge MJ fan. That’s a gorgeous turntable!!!!!!!!!

Let's suppose you have an average CD player or streamer with a pretty ordinary digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and you've only ever listened to music through that system. But one day, you hear a high-end DAC in a store, one you'll never buy, but they let you compare it, and you realize that what you thought sounded good doesn't sound quite as good anymore... So, did the CD you were listening to not sound better? And what if I told you that if you have a turntable with a needle, cartridge, and decent preamp that costs much less than that DAC you heard, and it sounds just as good or even better? Arguments? It's simple: if the source of the vinyl you're playing is digital, in the mastering process, they dumped it onto the vinyl master plate with a DAC, not necessarily the one you have at home, but a high-quality one. So when you play the vinyl with your equipment, there's no digital conversion process, and you're reproducing the quality of that high-quality converter. It's easy to understand, right? On the other hand, if the source of the vinyl and mastering process is entirely analog (old or new vinyl that assures you of this), there was never an ADC involved, and you're playing back the dump of the original master tape. What's better than that? Is it easy to understand? But now, don't come and tell me that according to Nyquist, it's enough to preserve the original source, because yes, that's the theory, but when implementing it, we always encounter different problems like jitter and THD in the process, as well as, above all, the fact that the DACs we usually have at home come with a sufficient conversion chip but then it goes to waste because they don't implement a buffer with decent operational amplifiers or discrete output, losing the transients that cannot be appreciated with comparative tests over the internet...

Cassette sound much better from Walkman n mp3

Big difference

Im blown away at the cassette deck and its quality!

Hola bonita pletina yo tambien la tengo, sabrias si las puertecitas de la cassette se pueden sacar , se me ha quedado la cinta clavada dentro

At some parts of the vocal on the good tape it sounded totally continuous compared to the mp3 version, which did not do so.

and tape on deck wins!!!

Amazing!

Vinyl to me is better always will be

Cd sounds better in older years. Now the new vinyls and re-releases from old vinyls also are so over compressed with normalizing and gain at 98-99 distortion, hard bass and closed sound with no high end. I have listened the same awful sound at vinyl from Taylor Swift Midnights and the digital format for example. It's not worth to buy a vinyl at 50 dollars with this awful sound. Same with re-releases from old classics, they are so digitized worst than mp3s. It's not matter of vinyl or cd, it's matter of mastering

Viejo pero no obsoleto....en definitiva es como el disco sintienes todo un buen equipo sonara genial ....si no sonara a lata....😊😊

Recordings with MPX and DBX play on Tapedecks there have this Noise Reduction Systems. Dolby B Tapes Play on all Tapedecks there have this Dolby Systems. Dolby C Tapes Play on Tapedecks with Dolby C. The MPX and DBX System is not a Good Noise Reduction Systems. Dolby B Have the Problem the Music play not Clear and have a Pulsating Bass and Cut High Tones, When you Play a Dolby B Tape without Dolby B on a Tapedeck you can Here the Noise in the Background its BAD. Recordings with Dolby C Tapes can Play on all Filters and without Filters. Its the Best Noise Reduction System. Warning Dont use a Screwdriver on a Head on a Tapedeck. When you have not a Oszilloskop. You Kill your Tapes when you Play Tapes in this Tapedecks. The Sides of the Tapes become Damage. I Recording my Tapes on Dolby C and 99,9 % Azimuth all Technics Tapedecks. All Tapes from me works Fine on all other Tapedecks.on the Market. I Friends Like 1:1 Copys from my Tapedecks and Say its 100% Sound from the Source LP/MC/CD. Thx for this Video.

The MP3 is not a Good Recording ! The MP3 Recording have a Echo. The Tape has the Real Sound and Win all the Time. :) Thx for this Video.

Beuatiful and last deck Sony of the best series 950/970/990/909 ES.

Shame..... ANALOG WALKMAN FOREVER!!!!!!

Walkman DC2 sound better.

The Maxelle tape sounded the best! Good comparison here

CD sounds beter and is just beter in everyway.

Casette > Vinyl

I use my tape deck a lot. I enjoy recording shorter versions of compellation CD's like The Stones 40 Licks for example. Way too much music on it and I could care less for songs after Tattoo You. But the quality of the new CD's are excellent. My earlier Stones CD's like Exile & Sticky Fingers that I bought in the 1990's are lousy compared to 40 Licks and the London Singles collection box set wasn't any better. So 40 Licks became my "25 Licks"! I did the same for a 3 cd collection of Burt Bachrach. I cut it to a 60 minute tape. Even a type-1 sounds fine. I suppose if I had a remote on my CD Player I wouldn't bother. (Nah!)I recently recorded over a 90 min Maxell XLII I initially recorded in 1990. I put together some early Beatles from the US Capitol Albums Box Set. Sort of my own version of the Red Album. It sounds great!

Cassette deck sound could be comparable and even better than CD

I have 500 tapes and 20 cassette decks

The cassette seems to have a slight bass and mid boost

What bugs me is how they mess up all the old music when they "remaster" it. They turn up all the volume levels, and it just sounds obnoxious. Just compared my old Joshua Tree U2 cassette to google music. The tape wins by miles. So much more dynamic and warm. Just feels alive, whereas the new streaming version is fatiguing to listen to. Thanks for the video!

Dolby cuts off the aftersound so unpleasantly

If the CD is not compressed, it will outperform the vinyl version of the same mix. Simple answer.

Hello. Thanks for your tutorial. I wanted to ask you if The Pocket Professional for the Hp 48Gx can be emulated? Since my calculator was damaged. Thank you

Great video! I have a Nak BX-2 into a NAD 3020i amp. What I’ve learned is that - like everything - it’s all down to the mastering. My 90’a cassettes (Springsteen/Petty/Pink Floyd/George Michael) sound incredible. A real warmth with a nice definition in the bass, also.

The ION is just horrible :D :D :D What a disgrace. And it runs at slower speed. Good for landfil.

This is amazing. I can’t believe the last comparison with Spotify. His voice sounds so natural on the tape

casettes taught more patience.

casettes are awesome!

Hola excelente material, en tu opinión como queda el nakamichi nr200 respecto al jvc nr50, cual crees que es mejor?, estoy por comprar uno

Madre mía, impresionante es poco

I can send you a mp3 with this song that sound much better...... Much, much better....

You really don't have to listen very carefully to see that the CD version that is played right at beginning has a wider dynamic range than the LP, then the techniques player. Now what I don't understand is the CD after that doesn't sound as good especially when it's plays next to the second turntable and even the techniques player? Something doesn't seem right. Also, the comments this video from individuals and others on KZfaq continue to comment that vinyl has more dynamic range, and that is not true. It's plain physics that CDs have a wider dynamic, range as vinyl only goes up to about 60 dB, and CDs go up to at least 90 or 95 decibels and above. I think the bette or correct terminology to use is that vinyl sounds warmer, less semblance etc . Before anyone criticizes me I definitely like vinyl better than CD, but I do use both of them in my listening.

Mp3 are sound like somewhere in between , So a professional cassette deck recorder is the winner !

What's the point of listening to a tape instead of the original font (vinyl, CD)? it's silly.

Nice video!

How good is Onkyo TA-2055 ? It's look is very nice and do not have any funky azymyth business but ok for me since i intended to listen only pre recorded tapes. I admire the simplicity in repairability amongst onkyo cassette mechanisms.

I have around 500 cassettes, all from late 90s and early 2000s and berely about 5 number of them have sound deterioration which were caused by keeping in unsuitable weather conditions anyways. Means if you keep these good, they perform great. Same goes for CDs as well but if they work, sounds superior but went bad, there's no repairability.

They actually sound awesome compared to the New Pre Recorded tapes, the Tape Quality of New Cassettes is terrible
