Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

Re: TDK "A" vs. "D" Type I tapes .. how exactly are they different? Is either supposedly better than the other? Thanks!

Hi.

TDK's "AD" tapes are somewhat better than the "D" tapes. The AD tapes were kind of a "premium grade" normal bias tape.

I've never tried the TDK AD, but a few normal bias tapes can sound close to CrO2 quality. Sony's HF-S tapes were probably my favorite normal bias cassette, back when I was still buying them.

Cheers!
Bobbo :-)
