I don't have any reel tapes.THAFUZZ said:I'd trade a Silver one and a Gold Reel tape for a Blue one, in a heart beat.
I have to ask, do any of these tapes sound any good? I get that they're nice to look at and I even have one that came, still wrapped and included as a "bonus" from an eBay seller with one of my recent JVC-badged acquisitions but if they're not in the same league as SA and SA-X, both of which are still freely available at sensible, high street prices in multipacks, then where's the use?
(& no, don't get excited about that one I mentioned, it's an Eagle brand C15, I didn't ask that it be included

if your a patient man you could remove the tape from the reels and replace it with better quality tape , i too find these to be less than great for recording on .
Now that has to be worth a try! A great idea. Hmm, I have an MA-90 somewhere that got broken in a fight. Transplant donor here it comes!JVC Floyd said:

Nothing wrong with a three wheeled car, they're compulsory in certain parts of the UK.....stormsven said:Great cassettes Adam. They will fit perfectly on some of the boomers.

But, as with the tapes and their actual medium being imported from something a little closer to decent sound quality, so the good bits can be used in a car with the more usual quantity of wheels such as these from my collection:
You know, that funny, because I own several of these reels but have not recorded on a single one. I only have them as BoomBox bling in My radios. When I do record, I unwrap a Maxell or TDK, etc high bias tape. The Reels are mainly for display purposes.
