It is amazing by how much Maxell Metal Vertex backcoated reference cassette is better than everything else, at least with my deck, and the deck was not specifically biased for it. But these days each sealed Vertex is over $100 on ebay. Still worth it if you don't record much.
Anyone into cassettes?
I recently picked up a Nakamichi BX300 for a couple of bills on Ebay and after replacing the idler tire and the two belts, this baby sounds better that any cassette deck I've owned previsouly, and I have been playing pre-recorded tapes for the past week in analog heaven. Finally a deck that sounds amazing on Dolby B with commercial tapes.
I also won a Dragon for a good price on auction and will send this out for restoration as needed.
Anyone else into cassettes as an alternative form of analog heaven? Some of those mid to late 80s recordings really have wonderful punch and extension.
