TDK SA90 High Offset Cassette Tape

It's getting tough to find a high offset cassette tape but these guys still have some good stuff. I use it to transfer music from LP vinyl to cassette and then record analog using my desktop computer's sound card and an old Sony Walkman cassette player, which still works great. The free Audacity software with the MP3 plugin completes the conversion to a digital format that I can play on any modern music player, even (sigh) an iPod, but I use Sansa (much cheaper and I can replace the battery myself). My stereo is about 25 years old, my turntable and speakers are about 35 years old. They all work fine. My 1991 pickup with cassette deck and no CD adapter; I probably have several hundred factory cassettes, many more than CDs. I gave away most of the old records that were too scratched to play around with. But I still have some good ones and need to convert them to Digi, so I still need a new blank tape from time to time. I got these cassettes from "Record Store", good price and service, I recommend. The resulting MP3 files sound really great, I'm very happy with the quality. The only problem is that it takes a few hours to convert the entire LP. But I work cheap.

Pros
  • Best in the Niche
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
