AXIA PS 2 (1995 JP) Cassette Tape

1. AXIA PS 2 Cassette Description

Like its predecessors, this relatively rare upper midrange type II excelled in maintaining most of the 'vintage analog flavor' of the previous decade tapes, but with improved construction and formulation which result in better technical specifications.

Once again from Axia  we have  a no frills type II with low noise, excellent midrange and highs, that can easily take +4db level without distorting.  

For some reason beyond us there seem to be less tapes available from this vintage which makes its collectible value a bit higher.

We recommend our 682ZX for recording your reference tape with it.
