TDK IEC I/Type 1 D60 Dynamic Performance 60-Minute Cassette (2 pack)

I like the price but the cassettes were sounding like a lot of static I was using them on a new cassette player

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" as well as an avid music collector, and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write about and or discuss various recording tapes.TDK has a solid reputation for cassettes and VHS tapes, having a long track record.The TDK D is not meant for music. You can record your favorite songs but the optimum way to hear the playback is on a cassette that is referred to as Chrome or Position 2. The D is a normal bias (Position 1). These are used to record voice. It may be advantageous for interviewing somebody, for notes to be transcribed, recording a sporting event and or a talk show from the radio.For music recordings use TDK's excellent SA or SAX. They offer tremendous quality and longevity.Please make sure the tape deck has clean heads or the great recording tape will not make a difference and you will get results that sound muddy.Please stick with 60, 90, or 100-minute blank tapes. Anything higher the tape is thin and more susceptible to breakage.Enjoy the music and be well,Craig FentonAuthor of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent"
