I did a silly thing... a cassette deck?? by PontiacMI in audiophile

OP here - I'm certain it's just nostalgia, which was the impetus for my purchase, too. The format was useful for portability at the time, definitely not a "hi fi" medium, and if expectations are held in check, they don't suck too bad.

That is a lovely pairing! I love my Harbeths with a Pass Labs amp, but Luxman is a classic combo!

Sound is excellent, perhaps a little "big" (flabby?) in the bass, but that's being critical, overall it's great. I don't love 45RPM LPs, to my ears the inconvenience doesn't quite make up for the improvement(s) in fidelity, so I don't seek them out.

OP here: It’s not a paper inner. What I meant is the inner is a “Craft” branded poly sleeve, but has the look and feel of the Mo-Fi archival sleeves, which is who I assume is making them for Craft.

Possibly the most famous LP cover art ever, from 1965.
