SKC CD - 1992 - EU "SKC made many tapes for other companies, like Memorex and their quality was always good and sometimes, exceptional. Here is their Top-of-the-League Type 2 from the early 90s...and it's a Pure Chrome! Use it in a deck that has manual bias and level controls, keep them at about 0db and you'll find that these are superb sounding Type 2." Tony Villa. CAREFUL! These are pure Chrome Type 2 cassettes - If you have a deck calibrated to Ferro-Cobalt Type 2, typically Japanese 2-Head decks, you will need to calibrate to these pure Chrome cassettes to get the best results. Many cassettes say, "Chrome POSITION", but do not use any chrome particles in their tape formulation at all. BASF developed the first Chromium Dioxide "Chrome" tape and patented the technology. Most other manufacturers did not want to license it, and therefore, their Type II tapes are cobalt doped ferrics. Why use true chrome tapes when they do not take a lot of signal? The benefits are: Extremely low hiss and brilliant reproduction, but they should be recorded at 0db levels. Best for music with a high content of classical, instrumental, and jazz sounds. Again, unless you calibrate your deck(s) to use pure chrome tape, they will sound horrible. Careful: Absolutely no returns or refunds on any true chrome tapes. Note 1: 60 minutes: Only a very few remaining.Check out and enjoy Tony Villa's great video on his review of this brilliant SKC CD and SKC AX tapes! Yes, I truly miss his cassette reviews as well...
