You've made me curious as to understand better the differences between cassette and vinyl. I have 2 great albums, one is Pink Floyd's animals on cassette a first edition from the 70's (no dolby) and the other a 70's Barclay James Harvest's Time Honoured Ghosts. What Ive noticed from comparing them is that the vinyl is more likely to be "colored" in some way either by dust or by the cartridge itself having it's own sound signature. (you can hear that alot with tss tss cybilant sounds) Whereas the first edition cassette sounds lovely with no dolby, no hx-pro, it just sounds high fidelity. Although I thought a lot of cassettes from late 80's to 90's came from digital bin's being recorded on high speed dubbing machines through DAC's, so I am unsure if pre-recorded cassette sound amazing. If a cassette sounds bad, you can change the sound through a graphic equalizer, but with vinyl you can also change the cartridge. I still have so much to learn, but with your videos im learning more, keep up the great work!

I don't understand why DSD and CD versions are placed so low on authenticity of the original sound of the master tape... even further than compact cassette? A lot of CDs are cut from the original master tapes, and thus have an excellent chance of sounding very close to the master tape. And regarding Japanese vinyl pressings, for western releases they are usually cut from a copy of the master tape and not the original. So it's a tradeoff... quieter vinyl vs. higher quality source.

@@jamestang1702 Thanks for sharing the video. It's hard to tell which sounds best because they are not level matched, but it was very interesting nonetheless. Interesting you used Money for Nothing as the example, as Brothers In Arms was recorded to digital tape and not analog.

Record company Cassette tapes sound like crap, lots of tape hiss on poor quality tape , maybe Your cassettes sound good but no way in the US. Japanese pressings often times are very quiet but have no bass either.....

We have a lot of japanese cassette Vs us and others , the conclusion is Japanese cassette has better bass than the rest !
your explanation really makes sense, James. Thanks! I also collecting japanese vinyls but just a begjnner. I always this question: as we all know many of great musicians that we listen based in US, UK etc....., does it mean the japanese vinyls producers get only copies of original master tapes from those original countries? or the original master tapes ? or digital formats? for the purpose of making the master disk.
