- I own a Philips FC40 cassette deck that is a couple of years old now. I am
- thrilled with its performance (for $300, I compared it with a Yamaha KX-300,
- and the Philips made superior recordings). Anyways, I use TDK MA110 tapes.
- I can get them for $7.00/3 tapes, which is only 33 cents more per tape
- than the SA90's. Some have told me that metal tapes are bad for the heads
- and will ruin them in the long run. Is this true? If so, what is a GOOD
- chrome tape that I should use instead? Also, I'm just wondering if any of
- you have used That's CD-IV or CD-MH tapes. They are the best I've ever used.
- What do you guys think? (I like to make tapes from CD's for my car stereo and
- my Aiwa personal stereo, which has Dolby C.)
