I have all six colors, bought them back in the mid 80's. All opened, and with music recorded on them.
I think new music is being put on tape, it's cheaper than disc. so bands are promoting their music this way.
The only bands putting their music on tape is indie kids and underground metal bands. You can buy and burn your music on CDr easier.
Very interesting. Please keep up the good work with your videos!
A friend lent me a recording of Van Halen very well dubbed on a good stereo on one of these tapes, I didnt want to give it back i loved the music and the look of these cassettes was so cool watching the reeel go round and round.
I remember that JVC used these rtr cassettes in their hifi brochures (rtr cassette inside deck).
Those tapes was recorded on a different deck obviously, a deck with a different kind of play/record head will sound better or most often worse because of that, those tapes have Maxwell xl tape inside, if you erase and record a song on your deck, you'd think it's one of the best you ever heard
just look at the top spine of the cassette to determine if it is type ii or iv. if it has holes near the middle (similar to the holes when you break out the record protection tabs) it is type iv / metal. just holes direct to the protect tabs is type ii / chrome. :)
Ik had een vraagje..is de Magnat zero 6 een aanrader? Ik heb zelf de all ribbon 7 beluisterd bij een kennis en ze zijn waanzinnig.
ik heb de zero 5 en zero 7 gehad beiden goed dus zal de 6 ook mooi zijn, heel misschien ga ik de zero 7, msp 120 1.5, of msp 70 verkopen, ik heb nu eemn canton karat 709dc gekocht, als die beter klinkt ga ik wat magnats verkopen maar niet alles, moet de cantons nog testen
I'm half german, half english. (born into the RAF during Cold War...getting old now!!!)...I live in both Bavaria and UK approx 33/66% of time per year respectively! ....and yes, I'm a sound engineer, originally trained with BBC, but now work for Digital Mastering service company. Yes, Cassettes & R2R are far more prevalent in Germany than in UK, always were from my experience.....Those German magazines are driven very much by the editorial staff, politics and their inherited alliances!!! You have to challenge and question the lead engineer/editorial who write the reviews, as they are not always done in the pursuit of ultimate recording sound quality. Seriously, do a blind test with the Pioneer CT-95 and say a Nakamichi CR-7.....I guarantee you will find the Nakamichi in a totally different league for recording and playback. I own a "MINT" CR-7 for recording most of my cassettes and a Nak Dragon and Nak RX-505 (for convenience) for playback. I have a Nak ZX9, which sounds great with Vinyl recordings (warm sound), but I prefer the more transparent CR-7 / Dragon/ RX-505 trio for everyday use. All the Naks have had their Capacitors changed on their main and control boards and I maintain and align the machines myself in the lab. Depending on the recording, the CR-7 can even outperform my two 1/4 inch R2Rs (Akai 747/dbx (looks nice, but actually mediocre sounding deck) & Technics RS-1700 (good in 4-track mode), although can't compete with my Fostex E16 at 30ips.
in my movie i am just quoting others.....
They look great, but weren't great for playback quality. I have 5 or 6 of the. in my cassette collection, but never taped anything of import on them.
weren't great? they sound excellent!
good video again Andrew..
by the way, what camera are you using to make your videos these days?
I use for all my indoor stereo review movies the Samsung SC-HMX20C. I bought it for 750 euro in 2008. I never see them second hand because the price for in that period not well know ore highly regarded brand samsung was to high. For all my other video's i used my 2 identical Sony DSC HX20v compact camera's. The sony's have a much better video quality and also a much better image stabilization. The samsung only have a electronic image stabilization and it's very hard to keep the image smooth. The samsung have superb stereo microphones, the built in microphones in the sony's are very bad and not suitable for my stereo movies but when i record live music i use for the sound one of my 2 external microphones the zoom h2 and the zoom h2n. these 2 mic's can handle very high spl and no disortion at all even when you record very loud live music. The samsung can't record to loud music. At the moment I am looking for a second hand 4k travel camera(not a camcorder) but non of them have a microphone in connection what is very important for me
thanks Andrew. interesting.
I am looking to buy a good camera for making youtube videos.
Doktor Uzi samsung nx500 ore sony rx100 are on top of my list but both lacks a microphone in connection
i like the panasonic fz1000 but to big, i want pocket cam
There is a lot of bass typical for early 80's tuner radio recordings if not used a EQ when recording those tapes just raw from the tuner.
I still have a Pioneer deck i bought new in 1997-1998 it has a feature not sure if i word it right but here goes something (ble) when you insert a blank tape and click this button it goes on a test cycle for a min or so. Is that like a bias test on Pioneer decks certain models that had that feature?.
i can't tell
I just checked it features (super auto ble) on it. Have you seen or ever tired that on any Pioneer decks that have that.
JBL G i never had a pioneer deck , only the pioneer ct-95
Hi just was looking up yours Pioneer CT-95 yes yours has the "super auto ble" circuit. Not sure when Pioneer added that circuit on their decks. MSRP back in 1993 was $1,000 US dollars and that deck is also a 3 head deck.

vintage stereo im buying tapes from someone and they're 20 Sony and Teac tapes in total I'm getting lucky cuz I'm getting the reel to Reel tapes
vintage stereo there's someone selling a Harmon cassette deck for $50 but is the brand good?
Ya, I am subscribed to Techmoan, good channel. That Vinyl Eyes guy, I watched that video a couple weeks ago and I mostly agree with him but he thinks only 90-95 era decks are good, and only 3 heads sound the best, and I really strongly disagree with him on both of those points. I do strongly agree though with him, Autoreverse decks with the flip head are something to stay away from. CT-95 is a rare and was / is an expensive deck, not something people wanting to get back into decks are likely to find or be willing to pay the money for. Plenty of others made earlier and later that sound and work just as good.
I think reel cassettes look cool, but that is about it. Probably a good move to just sell those.
got them for free hahaha, i wished he had them all sealed
what do you think from a harman kardon td-450, bought it in a complete set last week. didn't test it yet
just test it, the door won't open but i hear the engine running
vintage stereo
I only know that Harmon Kardon decks back then were considered to be some of the best high end decks. That has a unique tray load. Might have a belt that drives the tray which has gone flabby or broke.
i took of the hood but i really don't understand the mechanism , so i closed it.
what were these worth originally back in their day?
one dollar or two. very cheap.
dan heb ik zeker interesse in de zero 7. Gaat om het geluid en niet om het uiterlijk voor mij. Woont u in de buurt van rdam zuid?
oosterflank
ga van de week die cantons testen en laat je dan weten of ik die zero 7 kan laten gaan
Nakamichi ZX9 is the best recording deck ever!
Nakamich Dragon is the best playback ever!
Arcam Delta 100S - is the best Dolby S machine ever!
They are more expensive edition of Nakamichi's deck but would be poor value.
Pretty. But there where much better tapes available (TDK SA-X, Denon HD 8 etc)
WHAT'S UP ANDREW?! Great channel, thanks for providing us addict s with cool stuff. What about Braun/A/d/s equipment. Would love to see review, especially on speakers. Check them out!
braun is very rare , especially the dieter rams stuff
+vintage stereo I know! I have ads atelier amp and tuner. I'm considering the tape deck. I love my Braun speakers like you and Magnat. I know the atelier series decks were highly regarded.
+Brian Lowther Dieter Rams designed it, so I'll probably look for one haha.
i like those 3 in one from dieter rams, turntable amp an tuner in one thing, very beautiful. what do you think of lenco u 600 and t 600. scored them last week
Brian Lowther never heard a braun speaker
No Auto-Reverse on this deck, and doesnt show the beautiful cassette rolling inside
Woah! Diddent know old Arnie Schwarzenegger was a vintage stereo buff.
hahah, certainly have a european accent, but schwarzenegger is a idiot
vintage stereo Well,yeah,thats true.Mind you though,between you and old Schwetynickers,how many Golden Globes,Emmys and Oscars have you won?
a lot of famous idiots out there, trump is one of them
vintage stereo Trump's the biggest idiot of them all.Problem is,Trump's now in a position to,not only dictate what goes on in the US,but he also has the power to push one of the most dangerous red buttons in the world.Not to mention hes still going ahead with the Mexican wall.
the mexican wall is pointless. and americans have to pay for it
Those tapes were gimmiky at the time and not that great Teac as a brand by 1987 was pretty rubbish.
So these tapes sound poor in your CT-95? Could it be due to poor recording technique? Maybe your CT-95 isn't mechanically AND electronically calibrated. FM recording. 3 problems compounding the poor sound? I had several of these cobalt52 during the late 1980s - they were expensive then (BTW the actual tape inside is Maxell).
Well done for using someone else's videos to make yours longer to gain advertising revenue. So you tube.
I have been using tapes since Idiscoverd them .I have used CDs but digital sounds hard, loud & bight but mainley dull . Tapes to me are a priority for music and video VHS . IT IS CHEEP to make a disc . I say the public were fold out of tape in to DIGITAL as it is cheeper to make . In the UK , tapes have gone of the shelf . We have to go on line now for Entertainmant music shops have gone out of busness becuse of it . As for THE VYNAL HIPE ....? hipe it is . How meney houses have turntables instaled...? YEP they all use TV set or monitor fitted on the wall . HI-FI ...? I will not let go of it .......PS: DJs mostley use MP3 now ,but not me , it has to be done on the DECKS.
9:15 I think everybody have different taste for music.
my taste is also very different than 30 years ago
Pioneer CT-95....worlds best cassette deck! Who are you kidding...You need to get out more....The CT-95 sounds "Flat" and lacks "Musicality" - These TEAC Cobalt 52G cassettes tapes look fantastic whilst in a decent Machine (any of the 'later manufactured'' well maintained top-end Nakamichi's (CR-7, Dragon, RX-505, ZX9 or ZX7).....put these tapes in a vintage TEAC they sound OK'ish, but put them in a Top-end TEAC deck, with HX-PRO enabled and the Cobalt 52G just doesn't have the range you would expect...very mediocre. Very expensive cassette that don't deliver on frequency or dynamic range....they do look great tho!
just watch my video one more time, ..german top magazines from that period branded this pioneer deck as the one and only spitzenklasse deck, i believe they are far more informed and specialized than everybody else who make claims
EXELENTE SALUDOS DESDE VENEZUELA
zijn die cassettes te koop?
sorry , heb ze verkocht
oke, bedankt voor uw reactie. Ik kan de zero 6 voor €250,00 krijgen. Als u de de zero verkoopt, voor hoeveel wilt u ze wegdoen. Woon namelijk in Rotterdam Zuid
als ik ga verkopen dan de zero 7 voor 150 omdat die niet mooi is maar wel goed, de witte msp 120 voor 200 de msp 70 voor 125 n de 1.5 voor 125. de 1.5 ziet er precies zelfde uit als zero 5
you are CARCOTASI ?!
I had someone steal from my media closet. The thief only took my unopened, factory sealed White Album and all of my Teac 52 cassettes. He was no fool.
lucky for you these teac's are so rare that he will be the only one who will sell them in your city so it will be easy to find the thief once he will try to sell them
no Boys Boys Boys - this is MIKO MISSION - How old are you
