TDK tapes are great.

TDK are great. Radio Shack only sells Maxim and they suck. Ribbons break off corner rolls, tear or simply stick within a month.

Pros
  • Each audio cassette has a total recording capacity of 90 minutes or up to 45 minutes per side
Cons
  • Off the fashion

Good to a point - media storage and organization

Like the Maxell UR, this tape is a good all round recording tape. It is designed for general voice and music recording. As with the Maxell UR, you can burn CDs if the music isn't as intense. (Interestingly, unless they're so over the top, the CDs might not need a high-bias Cro2 cartridge. Some of my CDs transfer fairly well to normal-bias cartridges.) However, like the Maxell UR and the Sony HF, the TDK D will not be enough to burn CDs at high intensity. If you're looking for Exodus, King…

Pros
  • Regular offset recording tape, optimized for excellent voice recording during lectures, exercises and dictation
Cons
  • Tape

Good signal to noise ratio when Dolby B/C is used and levels are not too high

I just got Chick Corea Electric Band - Light Years recorded on tape TDK Dynamic Power High Power Type I which I recently purchased from my local Goodwill store. I had previously ordered a number of Maxell XL IIs because I figured I really needed Type II tapes, just like a few years ago. But now I'm amazed that these TDK cartridges work just as well! And for much less money! I just got back to using cassettes after 12+ years because I found an 'old' Technics cassette deck at my local Goodwill…

Pros
  • Low noise finish helps provide excellent signal to noise ratio for high quality playback
Cons
  • Reliability
