Or low-gen bootlegs from back in the day for transferring. The sound on tape isn't superior to other formats. The upkeep of the mechanics on a tape deck is worse than that of a turntable or CD player. The artwork/liner notes are super tiny. There's just no real advantages as a pre-recorded format.

There were some great decks made 20-30 years ago that got the most out of a inferior format.....I loved my Nak CR7A....but this technology is best left as a fond memory...IMHO
