I think it’s pretty cool that they have user and service manuals. So you can actually fix it by yourself when you have the parts and tools to do so.

They feel nice in the hand and sound good. Also it’s fun mixing them, designing jcards and labels.

Yes.

And when was the last time you dubbed a compact cassette? (For me it was 2 hours ago)

Wouldn’t that statement depends on various factors?

Was the master digital?
Was the CD ripped at 44,1 kHz and 16-bit resolution?
Was the CD burnt according to the same parameters?

If all of those are true, then one could say that the burnt CD is lossless.

Not the one you are arguing with, but at which sampling rate and resolution did you rip your CD(44,1 kHz and 16 bit)? Just because it’s a WAV files doesn’t mean it’s a one to one copy.
