Cassettes still rock!

I agree that cassettes can sound wonderful. I have a collection of 35  cassettes, recorded on a Nak 600 deck (which was stolen by our movers! They knew what to steal!). Currently, I have a (two heads) Marantz Deck, with an all-electronic control (touch switches), headphone output, Dolby B/C, and a very quiet, smooth transport. I got very excited about  cassettes in my youth, when my father bought me a Sony Walkman during a trip to Switzerland. I am talking some 30 years ago, yet Sony already employed SMD (Surface Mounted Devices - read Chips) and the overall build quality was superb. I remember listening to the (equally superb) headphones during entire nights! BTW, anybody here can tell me what a new, blank TDK SA90 BLACK Limited Edition cassette can fetch?

Thanks MoFi.
Looks like I need broaden my horizons on tape type.


Just dug through my blank tape stash.
After putting all the SA tapes to one side left with a few odd ones.

Fuji dr1 x 3
Maxell xl2 x 4
Sony ux x 2.

Don't really know if any of them are decent?

Sorry Mapman but I would have to vigorously disagree on everything bar the VHS HiFi machines, they did make a great recording.

And no I'm not looking at this through rose tinted spectacles.
My zx7 is set up in same main rig as my 401 and Aurender so i can easily switch quick between all formats.

I hate to quote GK but you should hear what I hear.

Got a couple blank Fuji will try recording on them later.

I've had excellent luck with Fuji tapes.  I have lots of them.  One of my favorites.

The best tapes, (getting specific) that I have ever tried:

Sony Metal Master (Ceramic Shell)
TDK MA-R  (Metal Shell)
TDK MA-XG (Metal Shell)
That's Suono
