Cassette Comeback: Hi-Fi or Just Nostalgia?

Just spent a month with a restored Nakamichi DR-3 cassette deck, and wow—the tactile, mechanical feel is pure retro joy. But does the cassette tape really hold up as a hi-fi format in 2025? The sound is charmingly analog, but clarity and dynamic range lag behind even entry-level digital players. Is the hands-on experience enough to justify the format’s flaws, or is this just nostalgia in overdrive? Would you trust cassettes for serious listening today? #Tech #CassetteRevival #HiFiDebate
