I have been doing my own J-cards for some years. I started drawing a template in Macromedia Freehand (which although outdated it’s one of the best design software out there). I have done lots of different J-cards for my kids to help them identify their own cassettes, so they can listen to whatever one when […]

I have never seen or had a tape like this, but now that I have it (and having talked about it previously), I guess it probably exists many ones similar to this one in various models and from various brands. As you can see this tape is for dealers, aimed to show how good does […]

I recently bought this cassette, and I was shocked by its sound quality. These guys really knew what they were doing! This is, by far, the best sounding release I’ve heard of this famous soundtrack. I didn’t know about MSFL ever but it’s now on my target definitely. I showed it to a friend and […]

I was browsing through eBay when I suddenly found a guy that was selling hundreds -literally- of prerecorded cassettes for good prices. My eyes quickly opened. He was offering medium-sized boxes with 44 randomly picked cassettes for good prices. I liked the idea of those boxes and I’d like to order one or two, but not randomly […]

I’ve recently received another mixtape, this time came from the UK. In fact it was part of a mixtape swapping with Pioneer collector user from Tapeheads. I sent him a copy of my Wild Acoustic Analog Experience mixtape that I recorded into a master UX Pro tape. It’s great when the postman calls to your door […]

I admit: I’m a TDK fan. I think almost all their tapes as at least very good. And their top range is truly excellent. The SA-X is one of my favorites, and I have a bunch of them ranging from almost the very first year they were released until the late 90s. So when I […]

I have seen this rare deck only in an old brochure. I must confess once I’ve seen it in action I’m in love with it. My friend Mat at Techmoan has finally found one after years of searching and he’s so lucky to have it in excellent and working condition. Believe it or not, but […]

After my first experiences swapping mixtapes with other cassette fans around the world (as far as it goes, I’ve sent tapes to the Nederlands, UK and Canada) now an interesting idea was grown in Tapeheads forum. Actually, in Nando‘s head 😉 This is what Nando purposed: A new idea and something any mix tape artist […]

In this video I explain nothing in particular, but simply show all my stack at “full power” while I’m dubbing a mixtape. The original tape was recorded in the Technics B965 (an UX-Pro) with dbx, using vinyl as source, as I already explained if earlier posts. Now you can hear it playing and being recorded in […]

I’m not a fan of STAR WARS saga, really, although I find it very cool and I enjoy a lot watching the movies (especially the three oldest ones). But I’m a fan of John Williams. His music is tremendously big. Awesome. Bit by bit I have searched for some of the best (IMHO) vinyl and […]
