Irrelevent. Cassetes could be recorded on home stereos. If you
wanted higher quality cassettes, it was readily available.

Cassettes never matched LP quality - let alone CD. Personally, I didn't
bother with them much.

Well, I found that many of the cassette recordings of R3 concerts sound far
better to me than many LPs I'd bought. They also sound preferable to having
no recording of many of the performances.

As I now transfer some of them onto CDR I remain pleased that I decided to
buy a cassette recorder and use it, all those years ago. :-)

Slainte,

I remember many years ago at one of the hi-fi exhibitions in the 70's
there was a cassette recorder playing some stuff recorded by Angus
McKenzie, remember him?, sounded superb, and to this day I still
couldn't believe that you could get such quality out of a cassette
format.

Mind you the application of the Dolby A equipment might have had
something to do with it!.....
