...sigh...

They're crap, though. They've always been crap.

CD - 96dB Dynamic range, frequency response 20hz - 20kHz

LP - 65dB dynamic range, frequency response 20hz - 20kHz

Cassette - 55dB dynamic range, frequency response 35-12kHz

You could get better out of them. I mean, shit. I owned a Nakamichi Dragon for a while. Finally dumped my Tascam a few years back. But cassettes are uber-poopy. They made sense for long car trips because there was literally no other choice.
