I had one of those too. I don't miss it at all, though, because the sound quality was dogshit. Now get off my lawn, damn kids!

You may have missed the protective film on the magnet head. When I had one, it was a night and day difference once I got the protective film off.

It's a bit late to check that but I'm pretty sure i didn't have any protective film there.

Strange. The quality should be about the best a cassette or aux cable could deliver. They are basically just two electromagnets controlled by the audiosignal.

They are so simple there isn't a lot to do badly.

Yeah it's cassette quality. That's what I'm talking about. It wasn't anywhere near the quality of a direct AUX connection.

Most of cassettes lack of audio quality isn't actually the quality, it's the tape hiss. Without the tape there's no hiss so they sound basically as good as a straight aux cable. It's basically just a weird connector in the middle of the cable.
