casette is only good to listen if you have one of those hifi cassette decks that can output higher quality sound. I had one last time, forgot which brand already iinm it was sansui, the sound quality is night and day vs normal casette players.
Very similar to this one
of course if u have a good set the diff is there

Just collected over 200 pieces of vinyl from an estate sale. Each going for 2 bucks. Good condition and mostly oldies and discos.

this one is fake CD la.
the original CD must have the record company names such as emi, rock records, polygram, Universal Music Group, SONY MUSIC, etc.
new southern records aka NSR is legit bro, just not famous

Cassette degrades very fast, sound quality also very subpar. Make no sense to bring it back for audiophile.
kids these days dunno that one. they call it aesthetic.

There's a powerful emotion at the back, that's why these things still around. Think Disney and Star Wars, so many new remakes, think DC and Marvel, not too sure what you name it but there's definitely some comfort in reliving the past.
after a while you will realize that u have been duped by these capitalists who only take advantage from your emotion of the past

most people want the old stuff....not the new stuff
the new stuff doesn't have any value at all
