The original claim was that modern recordings are so mediocre that
being re-recorded on a poor medium like cassette would not further
audibly degrade them.
You mean re-recorded on a poorly recorded cassette.
No, I mean recorded on a well-known poor medium. It has been always
well-known that the cassette medium was a technical compromise, cubed. Or,
do I have to remind you that anybody who serious about sound quality on
analog tape uses wider, faster tracks?
You are not putting the *medium* to the test if you are deliberately not
testing it at it's best.
