burning an 8-track to CD is counterproductive, and lossy snip


Another stupid statement by the "King Of 8 Track Fraud" (who looks
surprisingly a lot like Pauly Walnuts), Charlie Nudo, aka 66-catalina
on eBay. Burn an 8 track to a CD-R, it sounds like an 8 track. Record
a CD onto an 8 track, it sounds like an 8 track. The cart is clearly
the inferior medium...the numbers say it, the ears say it...but stupid
people can't say it, because it'll make them look ridiculous...and
Charlie Nudo is nothing if not ridiculous.

Well, (If we can stay on topic,)

1) the original tapes are degrading, to the point they can't be played
too much. snip


Some tapes hold up better than others, and they all hold up better in
a dry climate like mine...BUT...they all have to be respliced,
cleaned, new WinGibs® installed...and for the low quality of original
sound PLUS the degradation of self-erasure, misalignment and all that,
it just wasn't worth it to me overall, especially when I could only
cull about three albums out of a couple hundred carts that were of
"good enough" quality. Even with one of the best decks, you're lucky
to get maybe -3 dB down at 8 to 10 KHz on most, even less if the
tape's been played a lot and/or mishandled, such as being left to bake
in a car or played on a magnetized deck. The digital media, of
course, are clearly far better, except to a pot addled brain like
Charlie Nudo's.
