Back in the early 80s I bought a bunch of cheap Memorex tapes. Well they failed and wasted all the effort making playlist tapes. Switched to the venerable TDK SA90 and still have them.
NEVER BUY CHEAP CASSETTES - - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
I purchased some '80s K-mart and Tonemaster cassettes off of ebay. I wasn't really expecting these to sound great, but good lord, these sound horrendous. The sound is muffled yet tinny, and the left and right channels cut in and out.
I don't really feel stupid, because I had to eventually try these out to see why they were so cheap. Glad I did.
I won't mess with cheap ones ever again. A few minutes ago I bought a NOS unopened Fuji DR-1, because I already bought one, and the sound was excellent.
