This week I had to visit Madrid for work and met a guy that is also a cassette fan. He took me to the ‘La Cassetteria<\/a>‘, a very curious cassette label that also has a store where they sell their own releases as well as old cassettes, new launches and even walkmans and decks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has many walkmans and stuff displayed there, very interesting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Just after entering, you’ll find a wall full of walkmans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are several stands with both old and new cassettes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can also see a closet with some mini HIFIs and boomboxes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But the main presence are the big cassette duplicators (specifically Tapematic 2002):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These machines are totally restored and working. Don’t forget that these guys make new releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally you’ll find this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On which you’ll see new old stock cassettes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And the usual modern rubbish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I mean those colored fashion cassettes, you know. I don’t know how good those ‘High Quality’ 40, 60 and 90min really are. I guess they are RTM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got this soundtrack for me that is a movie I actually hadn’t see but in Spanish it was translated to ‘El chip prodigioso’. To my surprise, this cassette sounds really well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And I was listening to it in my Super-DD9 by Dr Walkman while I was travelling back to Barcelona in the high speed train:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can find them on Instagram<\/a> and if you go to Madrid you can visit them here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
