I have a grand total of one of these cassettes, purchased in late 1994. I recorded CD's and some dialogue via microphone in January 1995.
Over the years whenever I've gone back to this tape, it sounds as fresh as if I recorded it yesterday. Even now, thirty years later, it sounds like that.
The shell says it's 'high specific gravity shell', which means it's heavy. It literally feels like it's made out of ceramic clay! So, this tape feels a lot heavier than your average tape.
Because of their current price point, I don't think I'll be able to afford more than one. But man, are they worth it!
