Can't see the point of going back to analog mag tape. Recording onto CD or
other digital media seems fine to me with none of the worries about head
cleaning, dolby adjustments, etc, etc. I only use tape now when replaying
old recordings to transfer them to CD.

But to me, that's half the fun of a cassette deck, all the messing about
and experimenting with different tapes.

You may well ask why people bother with vintage and veteran cars. They're
cold, dirty, break down every few hundred miles and need more attention than
a new born baby! However, people still enjoy driving and working on them.

BTW, dare I ask this, but did you use metal tape cassettes?

I bought 2 or 3 Metal tapes in my lifetime. Must say, I did like the
results but I've heard people talk 'bad' about them and I don't know
why. Maybe excessive head wear? At least you didn't need Dolby with
Metal tapes. BTW, used TDK MA.
