Yes the cassettes are on a seperate layer then flipped to fit, its possible it's a composite image, pretty standard. Anyway, back to cassettes... Yes please in red.

surprisetech Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Back in the day portable cassette players did well because there wasn't any practical alternative. It'll be interesting to see if these catch on, but I'm predicting it will be a short-lived experiment. I doubt there are many who would regard cassettes as a viable portable medium anymore. The 'high resolution' label has me intrigued. Will it have some DSP in it to remove hiss and enhance the frequency response like Pioneer did on their last full-size decks?
