AXIA AU-Ix (1991 JP) Cassette Tape

AXIA AU-Ix Cassette Description

We are in love with Axia tapes, and so will you after you hear them sing.

This tape is the top of the line Ferric of the AU series.  It is double coated and uses Axia's proprietary AER mechanism for the highest stability. One of the few tapes that deserve our Super Ferric badge  of honor.

This tape will give a fight to ANY top tier ferric, including the legendary, and more expensive  Maxell XLI-S, the TDK AR-X, and even the mighty  Sony HF-Pro.  It is that good!

We will be posting a detailed review on this tape in the near future, but don't wait for it. Try it out for yourself.

Consider yourself warned - once you try Axia (or Fuji) tapes for the first time, there is no going back...
