is any chinese company manufacturing type 4 tape?

i can only get my hands on type 1 and sometimes 2 from western brands, new old stock type 4 has gotten "may as well go reel to reel" expensive

bc honestly fuck vinyl, a good type 4 tape (honestly even a type 2 with dolby nr) outperforms it also tapes are mechanically and conceptually cooler

Yeah good question

probably not, Metal tapes would cost a lot to produce, even for china. Even the type I tapes are low quality, even by Type I standards

figures

type 1 is fine for dungeon synth and black metal at least, and really that's almost all of what i have any interest in buying on cassettes anyway

lol

cassettes were so cute

are still cute

fucc off gramps

even if a lot of the stuff i want is horribly expensive

tfw you can't buy conceptionally cool outdated tech

i need to get a copy of crypt of the wizard but it's such an important work that i can't find a copy under $30 shipped

for the cassette, and fuckin i _guess_ i could get the cd but that shit's not as cool

i already have a digital copy i want the cassette, yknow

spinning mirrors 🤢
spinning ropes 😍

also if i get the cd i don't want the remaster with ouroboros art, i want the collector's version with mortiis in the bat wings costume crouching in front of a blurry photo of a cathedral

and that's like 70 bucks

there's some bootlegs floating around for cheap but i want the real one

Get into Minidisc

Lax regulations make it so they can sell shit that kills people and shit in general. Don't think there waa anything inherently environment destroying about manufacturing tapes

@Lesi

Where's the kz zs10

lol kz

Dear

KZ is good brand

haters gonna hate kz best sound

huooh when will the fresh go to sale again

they did on 26/6

KZ is *donk*

So yeah after using those shitty ED15's for a couple weeks.

Worst KZ product. Might have good isolation but that's about it. They're not comfy, fucking driver flex up the goddamn arse, hardly any sub bass, and there's a weird spike at 7.4K just like the ZST's.

My TRN V20's still reign supreme over those shits.

kz sux

@Windatica thanks fam

Do you guys know any good 2.5mm to 3.5mm stereo cables?
