Re: I'm Getting Sick & Tired of this Cassette Bashing Around Here.

I hate to be the naysayer here, but I prefer taped recordings of CD's well over the same recording from a turntable source. I have a fairly decent turntable, Bang and Olufsen, and make sure that the record is free from dust and scratches, but just cannot get even near the same fidelity as from even a worn CD.

I listen to most of my tapes in the car and I have a very good deck...a top of the line Pioneer with digital processing. The tapes of the vinyl recordings just sound "tiny" and all of the pops and ticks really stand out. Now I am not saying that others cannot get better results, but I just am not getting the kind of results I would like. Must be the turntable because I remember getting better results in the past, pre-CD.
