Review on Sony 10C60HFL 60-Minute HF Cassette Recorders - 10 Brick: Optimal Audio Recording Solution by Jason Paige

Having bought a few of these tape recorders I am very happy with the quality of the cassettes. Cassettes are made of fairly fragile transparent plastic; They're not very attractive (like the gray Maxell XL-II cases) and I'm not sure how much abuse they can take without breaking, but I've opened a few to make tape loops and they all fit well together without taking damage. crack/break The tape itself is fairly thin (as I'm used to from 90 minute cassettes) so don't expect crystal clear hi-fi sound or exceptionally long life; however, they are fully functional. I use them to make mixtapes for my car, cassette loops for making music, and daily voice recordings for school notes. For a general purpose cartridge, this is an excellent choice. For more serious or archival recording, you'll need a thicker tape or a more modern format.
