Originally Published 1 year ago — by BBC.com
Vintage audio equipment is experiencing a resurgence as people seek alternatives to digital music, driven by nostalgia and a desire for a more personal experience. Shops like Mars Tapes in Manchester are thriving, selling cassette tapes and players to a predominantly young audience. The trend is part of a broader movement towards repairing and restoring old audio gear, with a significant increase in demand for repair services. This shift supports a circular economy by keeping products in use longer, as seen in the growing market for refurbished tech and repair services.
