I didn't think I would be revisiting this thread, but it's possible I may be purchasing an RX-80ES. Just communicating with the seller and if it comes to fruition, I will post more details. Seller's photo: Nando.

Yes, I will most likely get the album and CD of "Songs from A Nervous Planet." Nando.

The moderator on that forum: How is he sure the decks being brought in for service and had accelerated head wear were from customers/clients who exclusively used Type IV cassettes? It wouldn't take much time for a number of playbacks with a few select Type II cassettes that had a coarse...

Welcome to our forum. Indeed - a number of us have owned and continue to use vintage Sansui gear. Nando.

As shown on the wrapper of the Sony HF-S 90, above: for playback in personal cassette players and car stereos where those frequencies may be dampened. Nando.

@vince666: That's a good explanation. The manufacturer would sometimes display such information on the wrapper to distinguish the tape characteristics from other models within the same tape type. This is an example of the Sony HF-S compared to the Sony HF: Nando.

Nothing wrong in not rushing it, George. This has been a great project to follow. Yes - there is the ad that appeared in most audio magazines of the time (1978) pitting the Pioneer CT-F1000 against the Nakamichi 1000II. Nando.

Actually, it has been shown the TDK CD Power is close - if not equal - to TDK SA-X. It's likely the TDK SA-X offcuts ended up being spooled as TDK CD Power. Nando.

Yes, there are deals still surfacing. A couple of days ago I received 15 NOS cassettes for $100 CAD or just over $6.50 each. This was through a FB Marketplace ad and sometimes FB is where the best deals can be found because as you say there are people unloading blanks for reasonable prices. I...

The only problem is you will pay a pretty penny for 80's vintage NOS cassettes. I, recently, found the 2001-2003 TDK CD Power to be an excellent tape to record to... and inexpensive, to boot. Nando.

So, stick with the 1992-1997 TDK SA. Don't use the TDK SA-X as you will most likely be out of range for your external calibration process. Image courtesy of vintagecassette.com Or try the 1990-1991 TDK SA: Nando.

Which deck are you using? I'm sure your operating manual would have listed the brands of tapes it was compatible with. That means keeping to the same vintage of cassette as the year of the deck. Nando.
