Yes, I Bought a Cassette Deck Today.... In the spirit of saving my analog past for the future, I bought a cassette deck today. Ouch? Well, in a way, yes, but I did it in the same spirit I bought the D-VHS deck.
The end-of-the-road Philips DCC format allowed you to play analog tapes out over a coax digital output, and in general the machines were high-quality tape decks to begin with. Like anyone over 25 or so, I've got some old tapes, some that I can't replace. But with this unholy mess in here, I've got to do something. So now, I've got three machines with formats that didn't really take off, but are allowing me to make good digital versions of my old analog material. Digital8 gives me DV encoded 8mm and Hi8, D-VHS gives me MPEG-2 converted VHS and S-VHS, and now the even less successful DCC gives me digital from the old cassettes. Now I just have to learn to live with what's on these tapes.
