Picked up a bose system test cassette once. It sounds amazing at first listen on anything because they overhype the high and low end, much like most bad modern music. And its actually fatiguing over time and stresses people out. Big reason I hate a lot of (popular) modern music is the over hyped non natural eq.

Friends will show me songs and they grind on my ears with that unnautural 3k boost to make everything "radio sounding", gross. I don't want modern radio polish (and the sampled kick drums, awful) I want good sound.

Commodores, night shift, 1985, one of the best sounding albums of all time because they knew what they were doing. And funnily enough one of the first digital tape recordings on a Mitsubishi! Also the nightfly.
