Back to Product Information

Sound: as a diminishing technology its good to see this product still available,if not in australia where i am ,atleast i can still get my hands on a truly professional product.i have allways been fan of ampex or quantergy as they now like to call it.i have as an experiment reused some of the da8 tapes untold times (untold because i didnt keep track,no pun intended)and have not had any problems.these tapes have a thin polomer coating so the oxide particles stay intact longer and the tape housing is well designed,and hey,its not the sound of the tape your hearing,its only storing 0s and 1s ,its the sound of your dacs and power supplies.
