However some high end audio companies still make record players and they can cost thousands of dollars. But I've never seen a high end cassette deck before.

I hear ya. The thing about 8-track and cassette tapes is that they were only speed bumps between vinyl and digital. If stored properly, vinyl and CD will last a hell of a lot longer than cassette tapes that were made out of looping magnetic strips. Tapes eventually degrade over a very short span of time and become useless. I had cassette tapes for one reason and one reason only...to make some hot mix tape for the chick I was banging for the month. Nothing says you're my girl more than a mix tape of: Journey, Boston, Prince, Color Me Bad, Luther Vandross, Ralph Tresvant, PM Dawn, and Boys to Men.
