As someone born in the 80s why are people collecting cassettes? Cassettes were a necessity for mobile listening at the time. Prior to cassettes people listened to 8 tracks but they were big and had a lot of quirks but you could listen to them in the car. Cassettes went one step further allowing people to record and release their own music or mixes. I understand vinyl for its unique properties and cd for clarity and quality but cassettes are an odd duck in the ecosystem today given mobile, digital download, and streaming for music today.

On another note, how many people feel their living this guys life. If you’re out here on the Reddit brother you do you. Hell with what they say. Installing a telephone pole is the ultimate flex. https://youtu.be/XJJy6VJvSCk?si=YERmh32RN\_CqZ5Kn

First let me say I ONLY stream music, abandoned vinyl and CD a long time ago. I also do 99% of my listening in the NF/UNF at my desk. I spent the last several months search for a hifi/close to hifi set up for a 5x6 desk in a room that is 15x18. For speakers i was looking at the RP 600m II or the ELAC 3.0 but these speakers seems too large to my room and desk. It also seems most hifi speakers are optimized for listening a living room or bed room setup further away from the source. For an amp I was looking at wiim ultra and wiim amp ultra or BT20A MAX but again this is a lot of desk space. To eliminate the need for wires, troubleshooting connection issues, and max desk space I eventually purchased 2 Sonos era 100sl’s and a Sonos Mini amp for bass. I’m second guessing my decision now though. The setup (elacs/klipsch, wiim, bt20a maX) would have cost closer to $1,000 vs the Sonos setup which was $700-800ish. Has anyone compared a similar sonos setup to something like the wiim ultra and similar amp/speakers? I’m def saving a lot
