DAT was killed by RIAA greed. "...a great product. We just wanna fix it a little..." I think the word he wanted to use also started with an F. What he forgot was: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Great, simple (to the point) video - looking forward to the next!

My dad purchased a DAT player for his car- which was never installed. One of the many hidden gems my dad owns.

I love DAT. I have always been a tapehead ever since my childhood....and I will surely buy a lot of this stuff. But this one is the closest to my heart. Ihave been following your socials on here and also Instagram....great job feeding my Gen Z brain so much nostalgia....(Yes, I had a lot of experience with a lot of media types as a child including analog audio cassettes!)
