RE: Tandberg Cassette Update

Cassettes were hot at one point. I had a sure-fire demo for cassette back then. I made a cassette copy of the 1812 Overture with Mehta/LA Phil (I think... it was the one with particularly good cannon sound.) When we'd get a crowd in the big listening room on a Saturday I'd play it back on the Mac ML-4's powered by an MC-2300. Eight 12-inch woofers can make a very impressive shock wave, and the ML-4's "gentle" (missing?) top octave helped take care of any hiss even at high playback levels. Oh yes, always hold up that itty-bitty cassette for dramatic effect before and after. On a good day I'd sell two or three 201's from a demo.

It was seventies hifi at its worst, but it was fun.
