AXIA GT-IIx (1989 JP) Cassette Tape

AXIA GT-IIx Cassette Description

Another hidden gem from Axia. This was Axia's 1988 top type II, second only to the far more expensive SD Master.  

A superb sounding type II tape, in an ultra rigid shell and an HD mechanism, that performs way over its price point. Axia tapes have a serene, effortless neutrality to them that makes you listen to them over and over again.

Try one of these once instead of let's say a TDK SA-X, or a Maxell XLII-S and share your thoughts with us. We are confident you will be happy with this choice.

This is the second and last generation of the GT series. We have a  few left, and they are selling quickly!
