I’m listening to live Grateful Dead on original analog cassette recordings via this 1983 AIWA F660 that I repaired yesterday.

Looks like a nice set-up, I had a Nakamichi dragon about 10yrs ago that I got in a Goodwill for $10 and sold for a couple hundred. I see they are selling for thousands of $$$$ on eBay, crazy. I still run some vintage pieces they sound so great.

Yes, the Dragon and a few other models sell for big dollars. There is a bit of a cassette renaissance happening. It isn’t like vinyl which was always popular with a small group of dedicated music fans but cassettes are a fun streaming alternative and people can get into it for small dollars.

I always liked cassettes, I don’t like having to turn albums over every 20mins or so and i usually run a couple of subwoofers along with some big speakers with external amps and it is always a problem keeping the turntable from skipping. I’ve been streaming for about the last 8yrs but I recently hooked up a CD player and remembered how much better they sound than streaming. I still have a Rotel RCD991 and a Pioneer P-D70
