Does anyone think that the prices of these things might lead to more decks and tapes being manufactured again!?
Err. No!
As far as the manufacture of actual tape is concerned, the investment required is huge, so you would need to be selling by the millions of units, or charging a big premium to make any sort of sense. So unless tape suddenly becomes the de facto consumer music carrier standard again, I just can’t see it happening.
I reserve the right to quote you both when The National Audio Company and Golding Replication get listed company status
I’m sure you’re both totally correct btw - but Google shows more than zero tape manufacturing and duplication companies out there, stranger things have happened
My brain is frying seeing pictures of those cassettes. Especially with the wrapping still on them! I loved TDK SAs. I only had two decks. A BIC T1 and a Nakamichi BX-1 (black). It sure sounded great on my ADS L400s via a first gen Cyrus One.
