8 Track tapes actually had better sound quality than the original cassette tapes. When Cassettes were first available the sound quality was not very good. It was a smaller width tape. Later the quality improved with the introduction of compact cassettes and 8 track disappeared. Cassettes are made with polyester base tape, have just over a 1/8th inch tape width, and a slow playback speed of 1 7/8 ips, thus contributing to a limited dynamic range and frequency response.
