My Cassette Collection + Set-Up! (2020)

[@feywerfolevado6286]

Nice to see young people enjoying cassette culture! Underground cassette culture is super cool. I’ve been self-releasing cassettes for a few years now and I like to leave them in thrift shops for people to discover amongst the other gems.

[@sebasvinylclub]

Im 17 and I collect 80s cassettes .... from personal experience I would recommend NOT to buy any new cassette players .... it’s better to go to the thrift store and get a good old cassette deck (Sony, Pioneer, Onkyo) and enjoy the best sound quality ... CASSETTES CAN SOUND AMAZING ... if you’re looking for a very good cassette player for a cheap price, megabass and great sound quality , I recommend the Sony FS220 or FS420! They are waterproof , and have amazing sound quality ❤️

[@OliviaRena]

Sebas Vinyl Club the cassette deck I’m using now is over 40 years old! The little player I just bought more so for display purposes, I didn’t like the sound quality of it so I’ll stick to using my deck :)

Love your video! I’m 14 and I’m just starting my collection. My cassettes are Stranger Things, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, Journey, The Beatles, Bob Seger Beautiful Loser and some other one, Pink Floyd The Wall, Led Zeppelin In Through The Out Door, The Who by Numbers, and a Sam and Garfunkel one. That adds up to 10 awesome cassettes

At 8:55 that's a colored leader. (The leader is the clear tape at the beginning and end of the recording.) Just take up the slack with a Bic pen, pencil, or your finger, and it'll be fine to play. (See Techmoan's video "Compact Cassette Tape Winders" if you haven't already.)

[@OliviaRena]

Thanks so much!!!

[@liavmalka8016]

I remember me with a pencil on the hole spinning it

[@violet-265]

I used to have many tapes in the 90's. I grew up in the 90's , i started recording music from the radio in 1993-1996 that is what we did back in the days. The year 2000 came and i started to buy cds .

[@TorontoJon]

Some of my theories regarding why records are popular again and why cassettes may be making a comeback are because consumers need something tactile to hold in their hands and one can't get that kind of satisfaction from merely streaming or downloading albums. Plus, records and cassettes look animated as they move around on a turntable or as the spools move around on a deck or in a portable unit which is fascinating to watch and both formats offer warmer analogue sound compared to digital sound.

[@thehurtk]

Yes, my assumptions too.

[@auroryeah]

I discovered this video way too late but i'm 16 now and i love cassettes so much! I have cassettes from a bunch of artists but i have mostly of the groups y'know, like Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Westlife, Boyzone, NKOTB, Spice Girls, etc.. And also Kylie Minogue, Debbie Gibson, Mariah Carey, Céline Dion, Britney Spears and countless others! Listening to cassettes using the walkman just feels different to listening to music through Spotify or other streaming platforms. Glad to find someone who shares the same interest nowadays!

[@AshokSingh-iv1dq]

Cassette is best

[@retroz4821]

9:58 This model was my first own cassette deck. I got in 2014 and i used for 6 years (it ruined this year) I have a Denon DRW 750A double cassette deck and i bought a Sony TCK 511S 3 head deck this week. I have two nice decks now. I turned 17 yesterday i have over 1000 cassette tapes (1214) I have 3 walkmans and 2 portable recorders too. Keep taping up!!

[@이하나-m2h]

Just bought my casette player and so excited to start collecting. My casettes i got are blue oyster cult, hall and oates and tears for fears

[@AshokSingh-iv1dq]

Yay

[@TorontoJon]

It's great to see people still loving and collecting cassettes. I don't buy a lot of them these days, but now and then at thrift stores, I'll scoop up an interesting title and for only 99 cents each, it's worth taking a chance to hear some great music.

[@TorontoJon]

9:00 One tip I have is when first inserting a cassette into a deck or portable unit, press REWIND for a second to make sure the deck takes up any slack to prevent tape from potentially being chewed up. Technically, one shouldn't have to do that as others have shown, but I found it helped in my experience. However, if a deck is prone to chewing up and stretching tapes, it'll have to be repaired (new belts perhaps or new or renewed rubber pinch rollers, etc.).

[@TorontoJon]

10:25 With those Tape 1 and Tape 2 inputs, since you only have one cassette deck (a dual cassette deck, but still just one unit), you can use Tape 2 to connect something else like a reel-to-reel deck, a DVD player or Blu-ray player, etc. Connecting a DVD or Blu-ray player will allow you to enjoy movies with better sound quality through your stereo system. You can do the same thing if you have an AUX (auxiliary) input and even use it to connect your cell phone headphone output or the sound output of a laptop or iPad, etc. :)

[@aiyanah614]

i love the 80s and my dad recently gave me a bunch of his old cassette, and a walkman but it sadly doesn’t work, but i kind got into cassette because i bought travis scott cassettes and wanted more songs. :)

[@ptowzapotato4157]

If you still have it you might be able to fix it with tutorials on youtube, or with looking up the model number to find the user manual including a troubleshooting guide

[@JB-ou6fl]

I listened to cassette tapes growing up. I didn't realize that they are still being made new. Thanks for making this interesting video.

[@josephcontreras8930]

You and your uncle have great taste!!!! Nothing wrong with collecting tapes sometimes you can't find some artists but on cassette. I still have many tapes though I replaced them with cds and I still listen to them on my technics dbl tape deck I got in early 90s and still bloody works!! I play them on my walkman tape deck and the looks I get when I change the tapes oohh man you wouldn't believe the shock...keep rocking malady!!!

[@MatrixAlphaCWX]

I was scrolling through my facebook. Seems like every single band is releasing not only vinyl but cassette's this year as well! So now you'll be able to get a bunch of new cassette's too : D! And they are supposed to be getting even bigger in 2021! My sony zx6 stereo sounds amazing, loud deep bass and crystal clear vocals on cassette's. My 2006 mustang also has a cassette player. Motley crue, girls girls girls usually don't leave my cars player tho xD

And some of my cassettes have already not good quality. But in general the quality is fine. Good luck! Hi from West Siberia, Russia!

I've been collecting Audio Compact Cassette Tapes since the 1980's all the way to 2014. After I got laid off, I made the wrong decision of putting all of my Professional Studio Quality Tape Decks, Record players, CD decks, Dual tape Boomboxes and GhettoBlasters, Electroncs, and of course my 4,000+ Audio Compact Cassette Tape collection, which I ended up loosing after I lost my job and couldn't pay for my storage. Now all of my precious Tape collection is in someone else's hands. I had brand new releases on tape, stamped ©2004 - ©2014, Dance music from my Birthplace Home Country

[@OliviaRena]

verastaki I’m so sorry to hear that ☹️ I’m known for constantly sizing down my collections, but I loved the items & I just don’t play them anymore so I’d rather they go to a loving fan who will play them & listen to them. But that situation is just sad, I hope you get to collect in some way again.

[@mine2613]

@@OliviaRena do you have any old Rap cassette tapes??

[@MatrixAlphaCWX]

Ooooo. On SrcVinyl they are always coming out with modern cassette's, check out their site. They also just re-released all blink 182's stuff. They even have My chemical romance and a day to remember. They said they are releasing lots more. Also if you ever open one and its loose, stick your finger in either of the holes and turn until its tightened back up. Hahaha. xD Geez that sounds bad. I have a modern 2019 sony boombox, and you put in a music cd and then the cassette. Hit record and it all goes straight to the cassette. So i literally have all my old Myspace Era Pop-punk/Emo/Screamo/90's Alternative on their own cassette tapes. You print out the album art small and stick it in the case and it looks great. My 2006 mustang has a factory radio with a cassette player so that's what i use : )

I dubbed a double LP vinyl and it just barely fit on a 90 minute cassette. I use a Nakamichi deck from the mid 80's with Dolby B & NR. It sounds equivalent to the source copy.

It's nice to listening LP from Walkman :D

@@RetroMechanic plus it doesn't risk damaging the vinyl. Cassettes are still cheap to buy in comparison to a new LP. I rate taking copies of vinyl the same way you get the natural warmth and compression of cassette.

If you want to see just how good the humble cassette can really sound get hold of a home deck with Dolby S noise reduction. Dolby S was a simplified consumer version of Dolby SR that was developed to improve the sound quality of movies and reduced or virtually eliminated noise. Dolby S is also compatible with Dolby B so could be played back on older decks and still sound fine, whereas Dolby C wasn't and if you played a Dolby C recorded cassette on a Dolby B equipped deck it could sound pretty poor. Unfortunately Dolby S came too late to save the humble cassette. If you record from something like a CD or high bitrate digital file onto a metal tape, in a high quality Dolby S cassette deck the sound quality when played back is fantastic, in fact you'd be very hard pushed to tell the difference between the tape and a CD because Dolby S reduces the tape hiss by so much it's almost inaudible. Good quality Chrome cassettes can produce results almost as good too, and even standard Type 1 cassettes can sound excellent with Dolby S, with tape his massively reduced (although still there a little in quieter passages of music). There were even a few pre recorded Dolby S releases although they were usually labelled as Dolby SR for some reason. Unfortunately Dolby Laboratories no longer license Dolby Noise Reduction to home tape deck manufacturers and certainly not to the cassette duplicators either, which is why you wont find the Dolby logo on modern cassettes.

[@kingcrab750]

Dolby S is a nice to have but not required to have good sound quality. Many vintage top of the line decks don't have it and sound much better than the ones with Dolby S.

Such a lovely video mam Such a great collection mam 😊😊😊

[@darthvader5300]

There is a new technology called photonic engaver recorder. It functions much like the RECORD CUTTER ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_of_phonograph_records ) making master stampers for vinyl records but this time it is a laser that is mounted on a vibrating quartz crystal that converts sounds into vibrations that in turn uses the vibrations to move the laser to form a laser printed or activated mixed-in inorganic dye within the tape to form the optical grooves similar to the grooves in a vinyl record. Once recorded it automatically stabilizes the laser printed grooves instantaneously and permanently. The process is essentially a WORM PHOTONIC LASER PRINTED PHOTOSENSITVE SELF-DEVELOPING RECORDING PLASTIC TAPE very much like the same process of Polaroid's Instamatic Self-Developing Picture Photographic Cameras which were the rage of the early to mid-1970s and are still being manufactured in some countries in small factories as opposed to what the internet news is saying that it is not being manufacture anymore but small mini-factories that uses full automation and robotization are still making it in some parts of Japan. But because their products are advertised only by word of mouth, you will have to look hard for it in Japan. Several people are making history to mass produce the mass production machineries as a full-set manufacturing set up which is scalable and not only for the mass production of Polaroid instamatic self-develoing photographic cameras and self-developing movie frame film video-audio cameras. But also of photonic cassette recorders which is inherently a WORM audio tape cassette recorder, once laser printed, then it cannot be recorded over or cannot be deleted. But one thing is for sure, with the use of new inorganic mineral based photosensitive materials and newly developed and improved polymers and geopolymers, the audio cassette tape and video-audio cassette tape will make a come back. It will be a very hard work but the technology is already proven and is being mass produced on a very small scale for the local domestic Japanese market because of it's inherent WORM analog feature that makes them immune from EMP and from CME. And the new optical fiber technologies of the 1980s can help in improving the SELF-FOCUSING ANALOG TECHNOLOGY of the late 1980s to the early 1990s to be on a par with VCR camera technologies. In fact, the microdot technology of WW II is making a comeback also with the help of the new Polaroid instamatic self-develoing photographic cameras and self-developing movie frame film video-audio camera technology as a way to copy and preserve microdot known as micro-microfilm copied and recorded pages. The new SELF-FOCUSING ANALOG TECHNOLOGY made practical by the early 1980s optical fiber technologies can help greatly improve the archiving technology of the microdot technology inorder to make it easily interfaceable with computers as the new COM technology to auto-save all computer e-mails, files, documents, pictures, photographs, video-audio in a frame film photonic format, etc. Welcome to the new era where old technologies are coming to the rescue of new technologies because of the new technologies inherent vulnerabilties.
