In Reply to: Cassette Tape - Worthy Analog Alternative to Vinyl? posted by sisterray on February 19, 2020 at 19:56:40:
Cassettes are a dead-end. No replacement heads, no one relaps them, awful to work on. However, 15 ips half-track blows away even the best LP playback chain. All you need is (very) deep pockets to afford the tapes several studios are putting out. Most run around $400 per album.
Footnote: Plangent-processed recordings in 24/96-192 formats blows away the original master tapes, as it removes many of the imperfections in the original recording. HDTracks and a couple other sites have them.
