I picked up some TDK SA90 tape from Richer Sounds for a bargain 59p each,
I
then rigged up my Pioneer CT-S740S tape deck, which I bought about five
years ago and have never used.

Sheer bliss, just messing about using all the bells and whistles (more
than
you can shake a stick at on this deck,) it just reminded me of 20 years
ago,
when virtually when everything was recorded onto compact cassettes.

As for the sound quality of the deck, I was knocked out by how much tape
technology has moved on since the seventies. OK the Pioneer is no
Nakamichi,
however, for the IIRC, £230 I paid for it in a half price sale, it has
paid
me back fully in one evening...simply wonderful...

Will tape ever die?

Lets hope not!

Cheers all
