I was always more of a TDK guy, but a great ad nonetheless.

Hey Boomers and Gen X peeps — where do we stand on this? 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️😱😂😂

Let’s solicit the carefully considered opinion of our very own @Bix 🤓, shall we?

@InUnfunky @MookyTroubadour

Cassettes coming back is stupid.
BTW, I am OK with still using mini-discs - I mailed my old MD recorder to The Guv. He wanted it.

@Bix @InUnfunky what? You don’t miss the hiss? :P

I know what you’re missing- the “trick” where you could skip to the next track by hearing the current track whizz by very quietly at hyper-chipmunk speed as the deck searched for a moment of quiet. Like a Ska version of Pachelbel’s Canon… So very high tech.

@MookyTroubadour @Bix

Don’t NEVER say “a ska version of Pachalbel’s ‘Canon’!”

🤬

Unless you got some.

😱🤓😝

@InUnfunky @Bix I regret nothing! :).

Now, that *that*, put it on tape, and fast forward it. You’ll go back in time.

@InUnfunky @MookyTroubadour @Bix Reel to reel is the way to analog tape warmth, not cassettes. DBX goes a long way toward quieting the beast, but still.
