Which is true, assuming you have a decent pair of headphones or a good
stereo system to listen to them.

You also have to keep in mind that these guys are probably testing a $10
top-of-the-line chrome cassette recorded on a $20,000 system with a
$2,000 tape deck. Given that particular tape and that high-end of a
system, I'd bet my money that the cassette would sound better because the
loss in sound quality from using magnetic tape is probably less than the
loss in sound quality from ATRAC. So don't jump on him for saying tape
sounds better; jump on him for not explaining that tape might sound
better only for rich people ;-) Here, we know what the real world
results would be.
