Cassettes sound much better than CDs.

And now something to lighten up the thread:

Grammophone (Rowan Atkinson)

As the US distributor for ultra-high end, I exhibited Metronome digital at CES show that featured the top end Kalista transport and matching DAC converter. Both had separate power supplies.

Sound was VERY, VERY analog-like using CDRs burned direct from the raw studio master tapes by a highly acclaimed mastering engineer friend.

The Kalista transport is THE most stunningly beautiful piece of audio ever created and photos can't do it justice.

That's me in the mirror reflection...

When I was a kid, music took up a lot of room - not in your hard drive, but in your life. Being an audiophile meant devoting shelves and shelves and shelves and shelves to your album collection. And when you moved out of your parents' house, out of your first apartment, you hauled milk crates filled with your music collection onto your next life.

Eh, most people didn't have hundreds of albums back then. You had some albums that you listened to a whole lot. Even with cassette copies, MAYBE 100-200 albums (100 cassettes).
