 TDK cassette tapeNov 15, 2011
By Fred from Missouri
Good quality cassette tape being available was something I took for granted- until I wanted to transfer 30yr old tapes to new ones. I ended up ordering these online because there were'nt any available locally of any quality whatsoever. I used TDK back in the day ( the ones I transfered from were not TDK) and those tapes are still in great shape. Highly recommend these for all cassette taping

 Slightly cheaper than other Hi-Bias, but still a little overpricedDec 30, 2011
By Jamie M. Albert
"proletariat"
These are 7.29 for 2, shipping included, which is roughly 3.65 per tape...
We who still love the warm sound that only analog provides and are still die hard, DIY recorders using analog 4tracks are forced to pay exorbitant prices for OLD overstock hi-bias tapes from the 90s since the only brand name cassettes you can buy at a store like Walgreens is a 5 pack cheapo Maxell normal bias (even these are becoming hard to come by). This is the case with Amazon and eBay - all I can find are overpriced overstock still sealed high bias cassettes for an average of five bucks each plus shipping (again, these are a bit cheaper) -
Neither TDK nor Maxell make Hi-Bias anymore so all we have is old leftover stock and these sellers exploit that fact. I'm not sure if the cassettes lose any of their quality after a certain amount of time (please comment if someone knows), but regardless, I don't recall paying these prices when they were new!
I also don't know if anyone manufactures new Hi-Bias tapes... if anyone knows that, please comment!... although unfortunately I doubt it.
Anyway, this is very discouraging. A home made tape was a labor of love and a sound you cannot get from digital. I still am a die hard analog DIY recorder, and I use an 8 channel analog Tascam 4track, one of the best models of 4 tracks made, using Shure studio mics, and I often master to a CD burner, not a PC (depending on what I'm working with). The tracks only become mp3s when I rip the master CD into the computer. It has become increasingly harder to do this because of this. Now I use my 4track mostly to record solo recordings but I have used it to record full band demos (even drums included) and have been able to produce near professional quality recordings! Sublime's "Robbin' in the Hood" was recorded entirely on an analog 4track, as have others.
Doubtful, but any sellers reading this? Your 10-15 year old overstock hi-bias tapes aren't gold, jerks.
On a final, more positive note, this is probably the best value I have been able to find so far.
