I think cassettes were originally invented for dictation, not music and especially not high quality music. My pet peeve was how shitty prerecorded cassettes were. The ones we made off LP's and later CD's actually sounded much better.

Nakamichi was the pinnacle of cassette players, be it for home or auto. I remember in spring 1984 going to South Bend and the stereo sales dude had a deck in his Honda Civic we listened to. Amazing. I'd love to one day have a Dragon. Just for the novelty of it.
