I worked at a place that at one time was the largest distributor of magnetic recording media in the world. I got a hefty discount on my purchases, so I used to buy several cases of TDK MA-XG and SA-XG in all lengths every week. I still have a fair stockpile. At the time, the Metal 90min retailed at around $20 ea. I think I gave around $7 for them. Has anyone seen what people are getting for them now? Ridiculous!
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.
