Sorry but even a good quality metal tape recorded well on a three head system will struggle to give anywhere near the S/N that CD can manage(IIRC Metal could manage ~100Db, CD was well over 120). The only saving grace may have been the early car CD players did not have decent D/A and did sound quite bright.

No way I'm just the same. Good hi fi should sound like the person/band/etc is right there in front of you with a full and deep soundstage. Just close your eyes and 'see' with your minds eye.

The do what I did and move next to some neighbours who are a little deaf
I have never been a vinyl user only when I was selling them. I think I have 3 records in total.

Heh, I remember they did make in car record decks, the problem was the needle pressure was so high to stop it jumping it wrecked the record in about 6 plays. Still, it was an alternative to 6 track |
