| | | Cassette or 8 Track?? | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 2,108 veteran | OP veteran Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 2,108 | I've got a newer Clarion unit I put in the van back in 2009. At that time it already had the large cutout. Now I'm thinking of going retro, they make a kit now to go back to a shaft radio. Anyways I found two radios I like on Ebay, one is a nice Kenwood Cassette and the other is an nos Kraco 8 track. I'm sure the Kenwood would sound better but damn I love the look of an 8 track. The price is steep but if you had to choose which one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/230806975038?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619http://www.ebay.com/itm/200774552644?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 | | | Re: Cassette or 8 Track?? | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18,213 Likes: 2 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18,213 Likes: 2 |

Better sound. The 8 spins at I believe 3 3/4 per min. and the cass. spins at 1 7/8. With audio the faster the spin the better the highs and sound. Plus with cass. you don't get that retro chi clunk sound when changing channels. With my set up I have a 70's indash w/cass and I went a little further and bought a 70's Craig stand alone Quad 8-track for the over head. Four channels of 70's music all thru the van. So that way I can have the best of both worlds!! With your van being so retro and cool, you need the 8-track to round it off. Just my two cents!
