Couple years ago I wondered the same thing. Bought a Nakamichi BX-300 cassette deck off Ebay and was amazed that every ancient cassette of mine, many featuring irreplaceable off-air recordings of live jazz performances from the 1970s, sounded just like they did back then. Well, actually, better, since I didn't have a Nak then.

Some of them sounded so great that I played around with dubbing them just for fun onto my Otari open reel deck and have astonished some of my audiobuddies with the result.

Go for it :-)
