Cassette had a lot to overcome - slow tape speed, thin media, etc. It was initially intended as a voice range recorder like might be used for dictation. But by the time compact disks became popular, the highest quality cassette tape media and the decks, transports and electronics were capable of very good quality reproduction. I have many cassette tapes that have extremely high fidelity recordings on them.
