8-tracks used a dry lubricant.

As a music format, I always felt that 8-tracks sounded better than
cassettes, but a lot of years have gone by and I can't go back and do any
blind tests.

Professional audio people tend to say that 8-tracks are better than
cassettes as far as quality is concerned so I'm tempted to agree with
them even though I've never heard or even held one in my hands.
