Quote: "But yeah, I do enjoy cassettes very much. A really good one gives reproduction very close to open-reel. I don't use the open-reel decks much anymore for that reason."That is a naive and misleading statement. It depends on the open-reel deck. Yes, there are some dogs out there, especially in the consumer realm. Yes, running them at 3-3/4 ips 1/4 track is a serious limitation and not a lot better than cassette. But you are over-generalizing. A good, properly aligned 1/2 track deck running at 7-1/2 or 15 ips will leave any cassette in the dust. Which accounts for why we never saw studios doing mastering onto a cassette deck.
