Petra cassettes

[brent]

Have your CDs recorded onto tape. Don't get rid of them. What will you do WHEN you have drop-out, or your machine eats the tape?

Tapes are inferior in every way to CDs. They have much lower stereo channel separation and signal-to-noise. They have print-through effect (which is when you hear a phantom of the music happening before it happens). The hotter the recording is printed, the more obvious it is. There is limited dynamic range and frequency response. The more tape in the cartridge, the thinner it will be. Thinner tape equals more noise, less level, and frequency response. Pass.

I'm aware of all this.

Oh I was the one who took long! I already have the CD, though. I'm looking for the tape instead

Cassettes are aesthetically cool, but not worth replacing your CDs with. You have the Japanese First Pressing of Back to the Street!!! Took me years to get a copy! If you are looking for cassettes anyways, try eBay. I was looking up Petra cassettes the other day looking for Trax and there are many lots for sale starting at like $30 for seven albums. Just please don't get rid of your CDs. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Why on earth would you ever want to listen to tapes?

Love my cassettes. I've been trying to get ahold of the Spanish versions from Mexico for a while now.

Hi Cameron, thanks! I don't think I do, as I'm no longer collecting the Petra tapes, but thank you!

Ya, I'm not looking to collect anymore Petra albums, just as I'm not actively listening to them at the moment, but I don't plan on getting rid of them ; )
