I’ve just found a nice video about cassettes. It explains what most of us who’s been usigng cassetets for years already know, but it’s cool to watch to. The lighting is definitely something to improve. If the author improves that, his videos will be much better though… Anyway I liked it.

I recently discovered by luck searching in Google that there exist a Cassette bar in Barcelona (!) I was so happy to see that such thing exists, and it was very near me. (see map) I went on friday night to eat and drink something and here’s my experience. The bar it self is beside the […]

I love to do recordings, and I always do them in one of my decks (see my collection in this video). Using a good deck and proper guidelines (as explained in my guide to make good recordings) does end up in a very good quality. Much more than many people think a cassette can hold. […]

I’d love to visit that company. Really. In the meantime I’ll simply watch this nice video.

This video has been online for more than a year, but I think it’s worth to add it here. I love this video, and I thank these guys to be still there because of their ‘stubborness’. I hope you guys keep alive for much more years!

This time is more an educational video, and it talks about how prerecorded cassettes were made in the 90s using new digital duplication bins. In those years majority of people gradually lost interest on cassettes, in favour of the new CDs, so […]

Double decks have been the king of the hill for the late 80s and almost the entire 90s. Everyone had one of these at home or in the boombox. But there were a few decks that could carry with up to 5 and even 6 cassettes inside. These decks could do a 10-hour playing session without […]

In this video my friend Mat, aka Techmoan, shows many things about cassettes. I absolutely love this video, and I think it’s one of the best out there. Not only it explains many things very cleverly, it is also a pleasure to watch to. It’s probably my favorite one of his videos. Remember that if […]

“Many of us like to listen to music on our smartphones these days, but some of us can still fondly remember the slighty hissy sound from cassette tapes – just before they got tangled up. Well, it appears they’re making a comeback, with sales surging in the US, UK and the home of the Sony […]
