Let customers speak for us
from 40 reviewsSo this is the one. If I had to choose only one cassette tape for the rest of my life, the XLI-S would be my choice. It handles low frequencies like no other, for recordings with deep, full bass. Clear and balanced. It requires fine bias adjustment on all three of my three-head decks, so if your deck doesn’t have that option, it may not be a good choice.
Axia is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands of cassette tapes. The Axia AU-Ix has low noise compared to many of the major players’ type 1s. I’m able to get faithful reproductions of sources with this cassette. There is a very pleasant treatment of the high frequencies, without going too far. Really an excellent value.
These 2 tapes were in good condition. Calibrate ok and record ok.
For the 1985-87 production of this tape I recorded high energy rock music with integrated LUFS of around -10 (not a lot of dynamic changes). My recording levels had peaks just barely over +3 on a Nakamichi 482z. I found no need for noise reduction, as any hiss was negligible and didn’t distract from the tracks. Although it doesn’t take a super-high recording level, the BASF LH Maxima does not need to, as it has low noise for a type 1 tape. This is a very nice sounding tape. I will be purchasing more.
This one brings back memories of the time I used a Hitachi boombox to record tapes. Still an excellent tape. Thank you for helping me finding it again.
It is a great cassette. I had hard time finding it locally, so I was really happy to find it at Ultraferric.
Great tape with an exceptional performance for the price!
Quick shipping, great discs. Some for recording and some to add to my collection. I will be back.
This tape is basically an HF-pro hiding in plain sight (but in my experience slightly better). It is an unbelievable tape on the same level as a Maxell XL-IS.
It changed the way I feel about type 1 tapes. lovely bass response and clear top end without harshness.
Lovely cassette, perfect choice for the budget, gets the job done as well as the best of the Type I offerings!
