I’m going to take a wild stab and guess you listen to pop/rap? Understandable why you’d not like classical. I can’t stomach any pop/rap save for a few 90s artists. Whenever I hear it its just gross and non musical to me (Deltron 3030 not included). Ive also never been into lyric focused music unless it has more than an annoying single bass note and 16th note hihats behind it. Classical is interesting for musicians, and it’s proven in studies to be healthy for your mind. But yeah you don’t have to like it!

Woke is anything they don’t like. If they have to describe it, it’s minorities and women having equal opportunities. Saying woke makes them sound like less of an asshole to people not willing to go beyond surface level conversations.

Well I’ll say cassette quality can never really be good becaise of the slow speed and narrow width. . But 1/4" tape is about the best analog quality you can get (feasibly cost wise) if you go 15 IPS and half track (1 way play, no flipping).

If you want good sound for cassettes you can’t beat a Nakamichi deck, best there are.

Oh sorry, I meant more reel tape not really casettes, but I love the otari mx5050, and the teac 2340sx. Good machines and 1/4" tape is still affordable. PM me if you’d like more tape info, I love to share.

Im obsessed with tape storage, but for audio. Nothing more real than audio on tape! Luckily it’s catching on again. Music is so disposable now, I hope we can keep physical formats alive and keep corporations away from it (digital offers them unlimited control over us).
