Who buys metal tape?

[speakerman1]

The guys on facebook asked me that yesterday. They must think I'm part of the Lunatic Fringe. Maybe I am. I sat here and looked around me and there are no less than 9 decks sitting here. May be I am crazy. LOL

The maybe can safely be removed from that statement.

We're all nutters When flush with cash, I bought ton's of metals. I bought TDK MA-XG's by the mini case, those cute little 5pc boxes every other week for a year to support my habit. This was in the late 80's, must've had 40 of the buggers . Of course, there were scads of type II's and other metals from other companies to experiment with.

I still have almost all of them, and they play beautifully. Strange because alot of them have been in very bad environments, in a totebag at the beach in Miami and Cancun, the car in the summer in Dallas, and the freezing cold in NYC and Des Moines. Some in a shed here in Arizona that I forgot about.

This should be a commercial for TDK's

So yes Larry, I buy metals, prefer them. I've gotten to understand and like type I's and II's through my friends and enablers at TH, and now have more than I could ever possibly use for many years

Stuwee,

That's a classic picture of your TDK MA-XGs. Almost worthy as an insert for the new SubClones album.

Nando.

I'm not that thrilled with what I've heard of sub-clones yet, Nando, I still have at least 15 CD's you haven't heard yet that are better than that.

Lee: I think what would be anti-climatic is to be underwhelmed after all the lead up to the release of SubClones. I'm trusting Parsons has created an album which will grow on you. i would say the last three new release CDs of old artists I grew up, had the same impact. I expected more, at first, and grew to love them, just like living with Geri.

[laatsch55]

Ah, the great wormhole of expectations.

I've got more than a dozen, TWO 8-track recorders, two reel to reel decks working and one fixer plus several VCRs in this room alone.

 

[laatsch55]

So the Akai exceeded your expectations?? When my TT from Larry gets here Steve i will hijack the box and get that PL-A45D on the way.

 

[speakerman1]

Steven I was in my garage. LOL Counting them. Not the sound room.

the twin cherries of my humble Compact Cassette collection;
the 1985 and 1990 versions of the legendary TYPE-IV TDK MA-XG;

both were gifted to me; the 1985 ver. by our pal STUWEE,
and the 1990 BY TH (and fellow member here as well?) BRAXUS.

thanks so very much, guys...
