From what I understand there's only a handful of factories in China all making the shittiest quality tape mechanisms and the way to go is find something from the late 80's/90's that has either had its belt(s) replaced or can be easily serviced if you're feeling handy.

Sticking cassettes in my pocket while riding my bike would melt the loving tapes. Went through a couple copies of Weird Al in 3D before I just started making copies.

can we just call them music cases? why the constant need to feminize them as “cassettes”. does everything have to be woke these days?

I should qualify that I misspoke, and just meant a 2-cassette player that can play and record. But, hopefully posting a picture of a used-by-famous-people actual TEAC reel-to-reel redeems me a bit  e: that one is, I guess, the only reel to reel from Black Ark that survived the studio fire and it was used by Lee Scratch Perry until his death. The charred hunk on top is part of the studio! TIL edit2:

Out of necessity I use a digital studio setup, but one day I'll make an entirely analog record.

Someone left this at my office and I yoinked it. Works like a charm. I went to Goodwill later that day and picked up a haul of greatest hits tapes, and a pristine copy of Please Hammer, Don't Hurt Em! for like 6 dollars.

Weird thing that this thread was created today because yesterday I found my cassette collection from when I was a kid/preteen while cleaning out my mom’s house. Still got the first (at the time new) album I ever bought with my own money: Beastie Boys’ Licensed to Ill on cassette  Also found my TEAC reel-to-reel player with dozens of spools of tape and a TEAC Dolby noise reduction unit. They were all neatly tucked away in the spare bedroom’s closet. The TEAC stuff I bought as a teen for like  in the mid ‘90s because it was obsolete equipment at the time and people would practically give them away just to be rid of them. That poo poo goes for hundreds of dollars now. Wish I still had half of the stuff I used to buy and fool around with when I was a teen like the massive Marantz quad receiver I bought for

And what did they cut those new masters from? The same tapes on which they originally recorded the albums

I have that Sleep album they recorded live direct to acetate at Third Man but every other vinyl I own ain't that, it's more artwork and having a physical copy that isn't going to rot/cool poo poo. They all come with digital downloads anyway, for the most part.

Yeah that's really the thing with vinyl - the increased space for art and the long life of the record (assuming you don't find some way to gently caress it up) EVIL Gibson posted:I mean, if you want to listen to audio quality garbage, then fine. yeah but I'm not ready to drop 4 figgies on a Nakamichi Dragon and I don't think kntfkr is either

Hey veteran cassette heads, what's your go-to method for demagnetizing heads? From what I've read there's the cassette one and the wand one. The wand one is supposed to be more thorough but can also re-magnetize parts if you screw it up. Cassette method is obvs a lot easier, but is it good enough?
