    Default FS/SWAP - 60x BASF CS II C-60 cassette tapes

    Hi,

    I just bought 60x BASF CS II C-60 cassette tapes. Wonderful tape, like many of you know.

    My decks are calibrated for Sony and Maxell, but I thought, although I knew BASF chrome would be a bit different, that their bias needs would be within the decks adjustable values from the outside knobs.
    Unfortunately to me, it is not. Even at minimum bias setting and peaking at 0dB , I can notice a (tiny) bit of high frequency roll-off on recordings.
    So, as much as I like them, I have to let them go (or re-calibrate both decks).

    Is any of you interested in a swap for some equivalent Sony, Maxell or TDK? (I'm not a huge fan of the TDK SA, because I got some inconsistency with some I bought, but I've been very happy with the all SA-X I tried until now)

    If anyone is interested in buying, I'd let them all go for the same price I got them for: €150 for the 60 tapes (all unopened and double foiled except for the two I opened to make a quick recording test).

    Thanks!

    Cheers,
    Luis

    You'll still need a photo of some sort showing the tapes you offer Luis.

    Hi Geoff,

    Sorry, I forgot about that.
    I'll put it tonight, when I get home, ok?
    Thanks.

    And thank you for moving the topic to the right place.
