I use this tape with my old Denon deck. The high-end is well rendered, and the low end and midrange are better. For a tape with a brighter sound and more air, use Maxell XLII-S.

I have always preferred TDK to any tape on the market, largely
because of it's smooth transport mechanism. Although many users
like Maxell, I think the TDK Pro SM60 is my overall choice since
MA60 has become unavailable. I use two decks, a Teac W-860R and
a Pioneer CT-W 606DR, in a home studio for practice sessions with
a Southern Gospel trio.

I have used Maxell XLII and TDK SA before (long time ago) and have better experience with Maxell. Both are good products; however I have to say that this professional version of TDK is outstanding. I tested with Barcelona Nights (from Ottmar Liebert) using Dolby C and Dolby HX Pro and compare it with a previous recording (using a XLII) and I have to say that this tape (in a good recording machine) will give the best recording you can get from a cassette tape. I didn't notice an important difference from the source. On the other side, there are not too many options available if you want to buy an audio tape.

This tape is perfect for all recording needs. The sound is superb. A very recommended tape for semiprofessional or demo recordings.

You can't do better than this tape for critical recordings...a real bargain at $2.00 each. I've been using them for many years with terrific results on my dinosaur Tascam 8-Track cassette recorder. I could not be happier.

Excellent.. recording and playback. However one must have a High-End Audio System to realize in many ways the sound
quality is better than most of today's CDs.

It was exactly what I ordered, it came quickly, and in perfect condition.
Who could ask for anything more? Not me!
