AXIA K Metal (1995 JP) Cassette Tape

AXIA K Metal Cassette Description

Axia's top of the line type IV metal tape from the mid 90's. These tapes will play all day at the 'big boys' playground, including the  TDK MA-X  and the  Maxell MX-S  without blinking once, and at a lower price point.

Moreover, we find the midrange of the Axia and Fuji high end metals to be superior to that of their competition, as the latter deliberately emphasized the 90's favorite 'loudness curve'.

This is the first generation of the K metal series, we also carry the second generation which we find to be very similar to this one.  

We recommend this tape for all music genres without hesitation.

Let us record one of these for you on the Nakamichi Dragon, and you'll have a reference tape to show off your deck.
