What everyone forgets is that quite a lot of techno stuff is cut from
nothing more than TDK SA90s in the first place - so bollocks to people who
say CD sounds better than vinyl - quite often it doesn't sound better than a
good tape recording. You are limited to the crap frequency range on compact
cassette ~50 -15,000 Hz. (hey even worse than 20-20k! Sorry, cheap shot, but
I couldn't resist.)
I find this thought quite amusing when people spend thousands of pounds at
their end of things on hifi (me included (but not thousands alas!)). The
artist has thoroughly buggered them before they even take posession of the
music.
