Maxell or TDK?

[orange]

I was also a fan of the JVC V Series cassette decks, anybody have one? I think the one I have in the garage is a V22???

622, Ron?

By the way, I can restore order via massive depression by flooding the forums with Andy Gibb and Kenny G videos, fear me, denizens

Fear not Kenny or Andy, for I have the power to make them disappear!!!

Bring em on, I am a fan of both.

I'd say the MX depicted here could challenge and win against any TDK metal ... or a TDK anything for that matter.

... I M H of course.

Yeah maybe, but those TDK MA-R's and MA-XG's just really give me a woody with their "Heft" LOL. Man, back in the day I treasured that ONE MA-R I spent 20 something bucks on back in 85-86'ish...

(lol.. talking about the 80's like they were the 60's.. I'm getting damn old.. )

 

[laatsch55]

I remember the 60's........but not much of the 70's.......I turned 15 in 1970.....that might explain it....

( ... even the nineties feel like different lifetime )

Well certainly, based on build structure, those TDK's were beastly.
Even the MA-XG's that were green & black composites are stunning to see & touch.
Yeah ... wood ... that pretty much sums it up !

But on recording/playback performance the MX kills them ...

I was brought up in the flight path of all those B-52's that flew night and day during Vietnam.

SA-X

TDK SA-X again... and another mix tape from Miles:

Very nice pictures Nando! Thanks for posting.

As for your "reference" SA-X:




There will be a second edition very soon:



Will keep you updated...

 

[Elite-ist]

Thanks, Miles. That was a tape you recorded for me many moons ago. Of course, I would be interested in any of your upcoming projects. The TDK SA-X tapes are very good. I don't think we ever exchanged any tapes recorded on Maxell, before.

Nando.

 

[Dazen1]

I am getting back into analog recording would like to know what tape everyone here prefers TDK or Maxell.

I like them both.

For your Sony deck, I'd stick to UX-Pros if you can find any.

Cool.

Volume III should be a "doomsday plane" special. You could have a lot of fun with that one Miles...

He's already got a shot of that runway approach next to a public beach IIRC. That one is a trip.

UX-S Tapes are very fine as well and always without issues.



Still have some of them...

Hey Web, Wikipedia says Delta flies to and from there at Minneapolis-St.Paul...

You could take a trip like FF and hunt the wild bikini.
