REWIRE YOURSELF

I've noticed that most people who use cassette machines treat the opening into which they pop the cassette as the portal to another dimension. They slap the cassette into the machine, slam down the cover, push play, and don’t give a second thought to the electro-mechanics that run the tape past the heads to produce the sound—or in the case of video recorders, the sound and picture.
