What is a cassette?

[Vertnut]

Coming from a guy that actually bought 8 track tapes, that's very cool. By '88, CD's were being used widely in the home, so I'm sure the cassette player manufacturers saw the writing on the wall and started packing a lot of technology into those in order to keep selling them. I had a Nakamichi Dragon in the day, and it was a really high-end player for the home.

LOL, I had the Nakamichi cassette deck back in the day, NAD preamp and NAD tuner with an Audio Control EQ and Sony ES CD player all driving a Carver TFM45 amp and some Polk SDA SRS speakers.
The speakers are about the only part I wish I still had.


Anywho, I have installed thousands of automotive cassette decks over the years but never seen a Kenwood like that. Pretty cool deck.
I have installed one of these before:

I wonder if I can get a copy of that mix tape. Those are some sweet jams.

Being a sound man I'd love to have that eq function. I really wish someone would put out a car deck that has a 31 band eq with a 12db sweep in it. Treble, miss, and bass controls just don't cut it.
