Figuring Out The Math 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.

Doctor's Note Nando.

I bought a non-working Nakamichi 680ZX from a local seller and had the technician repair it. I've heard recordings made on Nakaimichi 680ZX and 682ZX decks and that's why I sought one out. And a cell phone video playing a generic pre-recorded cassette. Don't mind the display flickering as...

A cell phone video of playing three cassette decks, each deck featuring a mix tape from various friends. Tape 1 is the Sony TC-K80II Tape 2 is the Akai GX-F90 Tape 3 is the Nakamichi 600 Nando.

I've owned a Sony EL-7 Elcaset deck for many years. I had two at one time and sold one. I found a TC-K7II cassette deck to somewhat match the fascia of the EL-7. The TC-K7II is, presently, at the technician for a service and I should have it back within a week. Nando.

These old Sony decks are wonderful. I have a few of them. One of the rarities for Sony cassette decks is my TC-K80II. Nando.

Sure - If you want to roll out a thread on a Type III TT project, I will join. Nando.

The General Electric Nando.

@Bob Boyer: An entertaining reflection of the past, Bob. Anytime you want to spark up the 482Z for a mix tape exchange, let me know, as I just completed a new project and recorded two cassette copies of it, so far. Rebel Air Waves RAW 101.3 Nando.

Simple Equation Nando.

I make no bones about who I am, that's why I chose "Elite-ist" as my username. Actually, it has more to do with the Pioneer Elite namplate, as I use a lot of Elite gear. Nando.
