1998-99 Maxell XLII-S Blank Cassette 100 mins

A classic Type II. Great tape with a great shell.

Has pronounced treble compared to it's contemporary, the SA-X. Best used with decks with bias adjustment. This however gives it great bass too.

When you get the bias right, this is a remarkably good cassette with superb dynamic range and low noise.

Very Heavy Cassette tape, weighing in at 82 grams for the 100 minutes cassette.

Made for the US and Canadian markets. These seem to be more a difficult find than the 2000 issue. Made in Japan.
