Does vinyl sound better than cassette.
Vintage music perhaps the growth in vinyl sales has made cassette tapes comeback inevitable.
If you were serious about your sound you listened to vinyl.
Cassettes on the other hand are nowhere to be found.
The problem here is that it had a tremendous result on the audio quality.
That all started to change with the advent of the compact disc.
And that s the format that recording professionals cared about.
We find out the answer once and for all.
Amazingly the cassette sounded better than the vinyl.
Does vinyl really sound better.

All of that to say while vinyl and cassette ruled the day commercially in the 70s and 80s there was no debate as to which format sounded better.
It s an age old question does vinyl sound better than cd.
Some formats age better than others.
But it will sound.
There s another far superior reason why vinyl is better than lossy digital formats.
Thanks to superior sound quality and a susceptibility to scratching records are still first choice for many on the club scene.
I have heard that there are poor sounding records and i guess this is one of them.
The cassette is 40 years old and in my opinion the sound quality is still above the average.
