Very good. I appreciate the many hours you put into this. You've got me wanting to fire up my Tandberg TCD3014A deck. I bought lots of blanks in 80s & 90s still unopened. TDK, BASF, Maxell, Loran, 3M Black Watch. I have types 1, 2, & 4. I will keep you posted.
I was offer this brand when I was a buyer in the Hi Fi trade. They were incredibly good tapes. I liked the chrome ones the best and your right they were made by BASF which was a brand I stocked. The irony was that I could buy the BAF tapes in bulk and get a much better price than buying another brand. Almost every rep you met had another brand of tape to offer you and the market was becoming flooded with lots of cheap brands that spoilt the market for other brands like Tudor. Market loyalty was another factor. I would have people come in and ask for several boxes in one go and if you suggested an alternative most people would not listen. People got caught up in the hype which made it hard for even companies like Ampex to make inroads to the UK market. Jeremy Travis Teletape Marble arch London
I was always a fan of Boots own-brand cassettes. Before they went with Maxell stock in the late 80s, they used a mystery Swiss supplier for their tape stock, with distinct dark grey hubs. Both the type I and type II tapes bore the IEC logo, but I never knew who really made them.
@@CassetteComeback ...but weren't ICM just a loader & shell+hub manufacturer? Basf or Agfa (more likely) inside those Saishos and Boots? Or did they make their own tape in the end? (another one in the list of questions science cannot answer 😄)
Impressive with the tape quality but also impressive what that track beat you're playing is FIRE! Lit!! Woah!! I wasn't ready for it bro. Thanks again!!
I just want to say thank you for what you are doing. I am a cassette collector since 2011 and stopped buying new tapes in 2015. I will start buying again in the next months on your website. I love what you are offering - and the prices.
It's been a good while since I've played about with my cassettes, and experimentations, but as I recall - the bass begins to be 'crushed' when the tape and/or heads begin to saturate. Enjoying your videos Tony, great stuff.
Hi Tony, these Tudor cassettes look like they were made by Dessauer Magnetband GmbH from East Germany. The company was known as ORWO before becoming Dessauer Magnetband GmbH. It was then acquired by Turkish Raks. ORWO had been producing quite decent Cr (pure Chrome) tape that was used in their own cassettes as well as some cassettes made e.g. in the USSR. So, I guess it is not BASF, but might well be very good value for money anyways. If you google for Dessauer Magnetband GmbH pics - there are cassettes with these kind of hubs and shells bearing their own name. thanks for the video! great job.
Cheers. The CR Type 2 have identical hubs to the 1982 BASF CEII, which is what made me make the link. I've looked at Dessauer Magnetband GmbH pics, but I'm not seeing any with these exact hubs.
@@CassetteComeback yeah, the hubs design for sure has BASF as origin, but they might be even having some cooperation with them in the early 90s.. here are some pics and the story (in German) forum2.magnetofon.de/board13-verst%C3%A4rker-phono-decks/board61-cassetten-decks/13453-cassetten-sch%C3%A4tze-teil-7/index19.html
@@ychesnokov Pls pardon me for interrupting 😅 but there have been different theories. Firstly. I wouldn't count too much on brand acquisitions, albeit they were indeed very important. It could really have been Dessauer, could have been late Magna (loaded with Grade A++ ORWO/Dessauer), ...could have been a duplicator job. Lithuania (дратвути 🤗) had some prominent music labels dash duplicators in the 90s who unanimously wound BASF tape into smooth clear shells (which, closer to the turn of the millenium, transformed into a patterned Kolormagnetics affair with distinguishing "A" and "B" markings, but here's one of the older make: img.discogs.com/857Lw33B_r76Hn1Ceh3DgfEhVXQ=/fit-in/600x397/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-6965929-1430578857-7474.jpeg.jpg ). Spain probably did that as well. But I learned from someone who comes from Belarus that our duplicator chaps also sold blanks 😶: forum.onliner.by/viewtopic.php?t=6525932&start=24500#p104053068 Not news for many, 100% news for me. Acme (=/=AcmeHK!), another Lithuanian blank media maker-electronics relabeler-current entertainment label, is one more prime example... except that it was a blend of BASF, Emtec and Chinese shells with dotted hubs and red clips which, sorry Tony 😶, are a bit too shoddily made to qualify as SKC. They could be coming from Forward Electronics of Taiwan who made plastic components for A LOT of tape makers, see here: www.ez647.sk/cc/philipsi/b/philips_cdone9098ac.jpg www.ez647.sk/cc/panasonici/b/panasonic_ep6095c.jpg www.ez647.sk/cc/konicai/b/konica_xri9093jc.jpg www.ez647.sk/cc/emteci/b/emtec_fei9002c.jpg www.ez647.sk/cc/basfi/b/sound.jpg Mind the clips, they're practically identical. Now when it comes to the relation of Emtec, RAKS and SKC... it's a weird complicated mess IMO. There have been claims that late budget RAKSes have bottom-of-the-bin SKC tape inside. One could say Emtec/late BASF tape (especially their very last FeCo offerings) could also be SKC. Some say the design and plastic parts of Emtecs were a result of the Korean KOHAP handover. Some say it's not KOHAP but SKC. Some say it's also late RAKS, which in its turn, is also SKC. It's such a convoluted story... as they say, "what is this I don't even" 😓 And on the topic of Spanish makers: www.tapeheads.net/showpost.php?p=775331653&postcount=13 I don't wanna point fingers (or put words in mouths) at anyone and especially Martin who's behind the post (он не истина в последней инстанции и сам в этом признаётся 😉), good sir has contributed *A LOT* to the Web database of cassette history and is doing his own research. But Spain *might* have had their own tape. Shortly speaking, it all comes out to the fact that BASF tape was *ubiquitous* among 90s duplicators. On the other hand... there were quite a few European manufacturers around that time. ECP with its "BASF tape technology", AGFA shell heritage and MK legacy* 😆 comes to mind first, but there were also all kinds of Magnas, Permatons, Dessauers/Lazers/De-Was/SKs with all kinds of tape (ORWO formulations? New formulas and tape coated at the former ORWO place in Dessau? SKC bulk orders? BASF? Hong Kong? Seems like it was a rollercoaster) ...don't forget the weird Italian animal called Magnex (Scotch factory? Sony plant? Own formulas?) In the end, it all again comes to 2 things: 1) Some Euro brands are still unexplored. They are items of collectible value but no one really unwraps one, recalls what they sounded like back then, 25-35 years ago, or reports their findings on the Web (as if they were obliged to 😄) 2) The other brands either have marvellous-sounding, or at least decent, tape or they are loaded with Type 0. (And it's not "shortly" anymore 😜) (And maybe the quality *IS* the top priority thing? Forget the tape anthology shenanigans and focus on the rust? B-but IMO it's an interesting kind of research 😅) *Были жалобы, что ECP начали с ленты BASF, продолжили со своими басфовскими наработками, а закончили с сыпящимся низкокачественным чудом в лучших традициях Союза 😄 Не проверял, но в каждой шутке есть доля правды
@@sevcaczech5961Have they been produced there? Why can it not be made somewhere else? One might say Skoda is sold in Spain, so has nothing to do with Czech Republic)) Cheers
Really interesting tape. Here in the US most of what we had to buy was either the usual suspects like Sony, Maxell, Memorex and Fuji and totally cheap stuff like Certron and the store brands. I agree with you that this is the time to buy if you're in it for the long haul. I'm personally embracing the secondhand market as I can still occasionally find collections of music I don't want to listen to and will wipe it and replace it with my own recordings.
I think the Tudor logo looks cool too. Rather retro. Yep, the prices will skyrocket the more cassettes become an in thing again. I'm glad of got a load, plus I'm stocking up.
I'll be honest, I'm a TDK fan, not the kind that only gets TDK tho, but for the same price, I'll always choose TDK over others. The funny thing is, that I mostly find just TDK xD In thrift stores, I still find plenty of brand new tapes, the last 2 years, I probably added 60 new tapes and 15 of those where type II (mostly TDK SA). Usually cost me like 20-30¢ per tape, so this hobby is really inexpensive to me. I got a Luxman K-111 for 3$ 3 years ago at a garage sell, my best buy yet, never had a deck that sounded so good. Been taping since... well always. Was born in 95, so when I was a child, I was taping and I just never stoped. I really want to thank you so much for those videos, you are one of the best youtuber on that subjet. I found your channel 2 days ago and I really like it !
Love your videos! I have learned a little more about cassettes (and about magnetic tape it's self) I wonder if I can get those cassettes here in the states? it seems to me if they preform that great in expensive decks (I thought these preformed pretty good for type I cassettes (although I would use about +3 DB) the should preform good on my lower line deck. Again thanks for the education on cassette tapes! (I have watch a lot of you videos and seem to always come away have learned something i didn't ether know or had forgotten from using digital for so long. Thanks again!
A long time ago, in the nineties, 95% of people in Poland bought TDK, SONY and BASF cassettes. I then chose Raks, SKC, Maxell and Fuji. I've never been a fan of one or two brands. I really appreciated Raks and That's tapes. It was only from your movies that I learned that Taiyo Yuden is responsible for the latter company. This in itself explains the excellent quality of these tapes. Now there is no such choice as it used to be, but you can still own enough good Fuji cassettes (K2 or even Z2) as well as Maxell XL-II or SKC LX for little money. New tapes, from new producers (especially American ones), are saddly has poor quality and more like sandpaper than a magnetic carrier. I do not buy such tapes, but what Korean companies release is still sensible and still maintains a reasonable level of quality, so from time to time I allow myself the luxury of buying a new cassette. Is a pity to tire the old ones :).
This tape sounded quieter than the source. I usually cannot hear any difference at all between the source and the recording when you switch back and forth, but I could hear a difference on this tape. It might have just been volume though. To the best of my recollection, pretty much all pre-recorded tapes were type I. I have a bunch of tapes I made in the late 90s on Nicorette Gum tapes that were included in the gum packs. They all still sound pretty good. A lot of them, from what I recall, were made from mp3 files I downloaded off the internet. I burned them to CD and then taped them for use in the car, along with recordings off of records. Ah, the good old days...
@ungratefulmetalpansy And as for cassettes, there are some "paradise" merchants on Ebay with bargain pricing, interestingly most of them come from only several countries - and I'm not talking the U.S. (however cheap the price tag may be on a job lot from the States, shipping+customs taxes very often eats up double the original pricing). Not all hope is lost. Also Tony's store, IMO, has extremely competitive pricing. You're not going to get it much cheaper - unless you buy cassettes in truck loads 😄
Interesting review. I'm with you that the Tudor CR could be a BASF chrome. For the HF tape, which looks a bit like the BASF LH-D tape, there is also another possibility: It could be the same tape which was used by Philips and PDM for their FSX and FE/FE-X models, the ones that came in Swiss ICM shells. The entry level model Tudor DS is probably no BASF, and I have not yet found a matching counterpart from a known tape manufacturer. Now to the shells and hubs. While the hubs are clearly a BASF design, they can also come from a third party manufacturer. Even BASF did not make all of the mechanical parts in-house. The clear shells used by these Tudor and late Socimag cassettes are made in Spain. Inside some of them, you can spot the embossed word INVERHOUSE, sometimes only IH, sometimes there is nothing. To our Spanish friends: Did Tudor make tape themselves, or did they have the cassettes OEM made/assembled by Socimag? I only know of Tudor being a battery company. Oh, I need to make some test recordings on my Tudor cassettes, maybe I can find out more that way... In Sweden, I have also found Tudor cassettes from the 70's, but these were coming from Pyral instead!
Thx a ton Martin, you da real MVP 👍👍 (btw: "Holiday" and "Black Star" cassettes should be from the same manufacturer as Socimag/Tudor, iirc. This would probably explain the "i" letter on Holiday shells.) (whoever reads this with a specific sporting/hunting intention, **tsk* *tsk** you didn't see anything 😉)
I don't know abot other countries, but, in my limited knowledge of the world at that time, in the '80s (my childhood) Tudor only marketed batteries and the usual stuff associated with that, like for instance torches, and replacement bulbs for those. Never knew they marketed tapes.
Should contain AGFA FE1 (later called AGFA F-DX1)= BASF FERRO Extra material :-) The rims might differ but Agfa and BASF and even ORWO/Dessau shared the same formula :-)
My brother once, long ago, had these Sony metal cassettes with a full ceramic case. He said they were the best tapes ever made! He dumped them in the early 90's. Stupidly enough, i did not want them then because i had MiniDiscs! How stupid was i!?! Have you ever come across them? Could be a nice subject for a future video, perhaps.
Don't listen to that one idiots option because I like the videos that you put out and I know that your videos are informative and informational and educational so like I said don't listen to an idiot because he doesn't know what he's talking about and rock on!!!
Hi, Tony! Good thing is that people getting to know some not very famous cassette manufacturers. Recently I purchased from Russian internet auction seller TUDOR CR 90 tape and also SOCIMAG, and also I bought from him a TUDOR DS 90 Type I cassette. I just wonder, how good TUDOR DS would appear to be. Do you know anything about TUDOR DS? (It says "Dynamic Ferro", so I expect it to be probably close to BASF Ferro Extra I. When it will be shipped to me, I will try to record on it. Currently I have very good Soviet deck as I told you, but it is two-headed only and has only bias adjustment screw under the cassette door. But I like this deck, since after professional repair, tuning and capacitor replacement it can get decent results from almost any cassette I tried to record on it. So, if you wonder, I can let you know how Tudor DS did perform on my deck. By the way, since nobody in Russia knows about TUDOR and SOCIMAG, the price for these tapes from that guy was very reasonable, TUDOR CR was even cheaper, for example, then some BASF Type I tapes.
The brand plays a big part, but as I'm saying in the video, it's time to embrace good "unknown" cassettes, as the big name ones are becoming harder to get and pricy. I may try the Tudor DS out, but let me know how you get on.
@@CassetteComeback Hi, Tony! Today just received my Tudor DS cassette (which says Dynamic Ferric on it). I made the comparison test with 1997 TDK D tape, and what can I tell you& Tudor DS got better bas response, then TDK D, as of my ears, but highs are more crisp in TDK D, but not very significantly. Tudor DS takes +3 level easily, without any distortion, and doesn't give level loss. During playback lelel was pretty much the same as during recording. I didn't experiment with bias adjustment, since my friend, who calibrated the deck, told me better not to touch it. So I would recommend this cassette as good ferric tape.
Still got my tape winder from Tandy .this one is geared . True about tapes prises but if you by a load of second hand tapes be aware they could be well worn . I am sitting on a GOLDMINE of tapes , none for sale , Betamax video tapes too but no deck for them now . Only pay for what the item is worth , NOT the HYPE !
Wise words...but you have to spoil yourself sometimes 😉 I don't think there will be a big resurgence in video cassettes however, unless in the pro market for the likes of BetaCam tapes. Audio cassettes have a certain sound about them, that modern digital is missing. This is a main reason people come back to them, along with their aesthetics. Video tapes don't have that character and are bettered in every way by DVD, let alone Blu-Ray.
@@CassetteComeback VHS 4 - 6 head is Digital I know so it lacks detail on the top end and mid band but I use them for a 4 hour Club & Rave on my decks . I have TONNES of VHS tapes now . VHS decks are NOT practical in operation like a audio tape deck , 3Head VHS was better .
i'd try any tape i can get. because i know what those big brands are like. i have no issue trying something like this, just to check them out. and if they are good. then i will go grab some more. but i've never heard of either of those kinds.
Would be interesting to know whether the DS is above or below the HF in the lineup 😏 And Spanish tapes on the whole, it appears, are a treasure. Heck, maybe even old LN (pre-IEC low-noise-not-so-high-output) formulations are a treasure, unless you're dealing with reslitted video tape - and if the equipment allows you to compensate for miscalibration. Yes they tended to saturate earlier (if I'm not mistaken) but... the noise floor was also lower, again IIRC. In short: why not try everything you get hold of?.. I don't think a tape can damage your deck SO badly you'll want to stay away from anything excluding TDK and Maxell 🙂
There is a thing on eBay for buying current Maxell UR tapes (which can be bought for a pound a piece), and selling them for £2 plus, while describing them as rare. Cheeky sods!
Great video and a great channel - I've learned a lot from watching and listening to you - cheers :) On a similar note to the one you made in the video: for those on the diametrically-opposite end of the fanboy spectrum who don't care what you record on as long as the end result sounds good, keep an eye open for "The Classical Collection" - it was a periodical that ran in the early 90's published by Orbis that came with a 60+ minute cassette. I was given a whole heap of them by someone on Freecycle who was just having a clear-out. The performances are basic (Point Classics, need I say more) and the sound quality is pathetic... but it's BASF pure chrome tape inside; Crayola smell and all :) The shells are built in such a way that it only takes a set of pliers to create a Type II notch; tape up the write-protect hole, and voila! A 60-minute pure chrome BASF saved from someone's dustbin.
Been looking for the Tudor brand in the German brands register (on the off chance with BASF and AGFA both being German companies) I found something else instead. register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/registerIR?AKZ=603193&CURSOR=8 The name on the cassettes shows an identical brand logo to the one registered by a Spanish battery manufacturer. So they were possibly produced for the Spanish market?
@@CassetteComeback Tudor was a best type of battery manufacturer, yes in Portugal also, now gone. You would find their vintage signs in the entrance of old auto mechanics garages.
I’ve never seen the Tudor HF before. Sony did the HF cassettes back in the mid to late 1980’s right up until the 2000’s, but Tudor took a stab at the HF name, because Sony already did the HF name on cassettes.
Hello from Finland. It would be nice to see unfamous RAKS to be in test. I have here RAKS CD-X cassettes. Dark color of RAKS CD-X -tape (type-I) says Super Ferro, and +3 -5 db with no audible distorion . Byt who knows, perhaps Cassette Comeback???
Have a look at the Sony tc-k611s sound be in your price range and was a good deck when I had one. Like all these things they are getting old so might need new belts and possibly motors if left switched on.
@@roasthunter Thanks for the advice. I can remember these decks from the time. I actually had the 2 head version back in 1994. I couldn't quite afford this version. Much appreciated... 👍
i do wonder, if you could experiment with double speed recording and see if or how much quality gain you would get. i know about 1 4 track cassette recorder that does 2x recording, but i guess this isnt common for consumer recorders/players since it will turn a 90min to a 45 min cassette.
I would love to buy these but importing them from Europe is expensive as compared to buying a tape from the States even with the shipping. I am always looking to try different cassettes.
Seems to be a common problem with the slip sheets in clear SKC tapes... I have some Memorex dBS (made by SKC) that suffer the same issue... However, SKC tapes have my favorite hubs and it's still decent film.
@@CassetteComeback I have had luck with this. I open the cassette, take the two sheets and gently rub them together. Then re-assemble the cassette, only turning the screws until snug. Then a couple of cycles rewinding the tape end to end. It's time consuming, but hey, it's for the love of the hobby
In the old times 70s/80s the best sound was TDK and poor man was BASF (in Europe) maybe now there's only one manufacturer of magnetic tape I guess. I'm not talking about studios quality but only "FNAC" type shopping.
@@CassetteComeback one more thing and I'm finally shutting up 😄: it'd be nice to check the Saisho tape colour. If I'm not mistaken, dark "rich brown" = BASF after the Agfa acquisition; rusty brown = AGFA or earlier BASF, or late BASF "Ferro Standard" (a grade below Extra, possibly just an older variant); very rusty, almost orange, brick coloured brown = Emtec; and milky (sorta like whitened) light brown (I ♥ that colour) = another kind of AGFA. There may be errors.
Hi, great videos as always. I have a business plan, take a cheapest Maxell UR cassette, record some test tones 1kHz, 10kHz etc. on Your Dragon put it on sale on Your store. I desperatley need calibrating my decks but it's hard to find reputable source of that kind of material. :)
I actually got some 20 minute BASF Reference Maxima 2 for another project, but did make a calibration tape with one. 400hz @0db on one side for level / speed (as the dragon is quartz locked) and 10khz @-6 for azimuth on the other. Don't know about selling alignment cassettes though, it's fine for my own use, but I don't know whether I could "stand by" them for others.
Fair point, but i think there will be others who would buy them not only me in particular. Dragon is an amazing deck unfortunately not for my pocket. And I would have a great honor to have my deck calibrated and traced to it. I'll keep my eyes open on Your website maybe one day I'll spot something I'm looking for. Regardless keep up great work. :)
I put all my cassette into the dump, they served a purpose at the time but don't see any reason to do anything new on cassette, even much better mediums like CD are almost dead, lots of SA90, BASF, Philips, Sony etc went into the dump. The only dissappointment is people paying stupid money for this stuff, I could have sold them to someone.
@@CassetteComeback I had lots of Walkmans and a reasonable Sony dolby s deck back in the day. Cassettes were a good portable medium for their time but I see little point in them these days other than for things like retro computers where there is no other medium easily compatible. As a means to listen to music why would you use them? Even on the highest quality decks the sound is OK at best and inferior to modern tech. I guess I don't know why someone would buy a record these days either.
I know a guy who I went to high school with in the 80’s. He was a Sony fan boy then & still is now. Same with Coke. Always talks shit when you mention Pepsi.
Cassette Comeback Thinks Sony makes the best selling TV’s and pc/phone. A few years ago I told him that nobody buys Sony phones & a lot of newer brands have better selling TV’s. He was like “But But, They got record company’s & movies. Had to tell him “Yeah! And who pays for music anymore.” (This was several years ago) & their movie studios only big Products were their back catalog. Same as the record co. He couldn’t believe when I told him that Sony was selling off other properties that they Had, to lessen their profit loss. The only thing that they had that was really producing revenue for them was PlayStation. He didn’t want to believe any of this b/c of his blind fanboyisom!
Hi Tony, to be honest I've never seen this brand in my life. But I think your right about this tape. I see it like this way. As you know we have a major brand in Holland Philips. The same products allso but for a price less, called Aristona and more less was Erres. So why not that BASF does have a wide tape and the inner side is called BASF and the outer site called Tudor? I've just orderd some cassettes but, I'm thinking to order some off those aswell just to try out. Now something else, You say you use music from the free youtube libary. But I allso see needle drops and some stay on the youtube channel. Purly because the artist likes it their music is used and that way get promoted. E.G. a number by Rush I include the link maybe you can use the number aswell Uncompressed 🤣😂 ua-cam.com/video/2X6Bsa70HPU/v-deo.html Kind regards

But I learned from someone who comes from Belarus that our duplicator chaps also sold blanks 😶: forum.onliner.by/viewtopic.php?t=6525932&start=24500#p104053068
Not news for many, 100% news for me.
Acme (=/=AcmeHK!), another Lithuanian blank media maker-electronics relabeler-current entertainment label, is one more prime example... except that it was a blend of BASF, Emtec and Chinese shells with dotted hubs and red clips which, sorry Tony 😶, are a bit too shoddily made to qualify as SKC. They could be coming from Forward Electronics of Taiwan who made plastic components for A LOT of tape makers, see here: www.ez647.sk/cc/philipsi/b/philips_cdone9098ac.jpg www.ez647.sk/cc/panasonici/b/panasonic_ep6095c.jpg www.ez647.sk/cc/konicai/b/konica_xri9093jc.jpg www.ez647.sk/cc/emteci/b/emtec_fei9002c.jpg www.ez647.sk/cc/basfi/b/sound.jpg
Mind the clips, they're practically identical.
Now when it comes to the relation of Emtec, RAKS and SKC... it's a weird complicated mess IMO. There have been claims that late budget RAKSes have bottom-of-the-bin SKC tape inside. One could say Emtec/late BASF tape (especially their very last FeCo offerings) could also be SKC. Some say the design and plastic parts of Emtecs were a result of the Korean KOHAP handover. Some say it's not KOHAP but SKC. Some say it's also late RAKS, which in its turn, is also SKC. It's such a convoluted story... as they say, "what is this I don't even" 😓
And on the topic of Spanish makers: www.tapeheads.net/showpost.php?p=775331653&postcount=13
I don't wanna point fingers (or put words in mouths) at anyone and especially Martin who's behind the post (он не истина в последней инстанции и сам в этом признаётся 😉), good sir has contributed *A LOT* to the Web database of cassette history and is doing his own research. But Spain *might* have had their own tape.
Shortly speaking, it all comes out to the fact that BASF tape was *ubiquitous* among 90s duplicators. On the other hand... there were quite a few European manufacturers around that time. ECP with its "BASF tape technology", AGFA shell heritage and MK legacy* 😆 comes to mind first, but there were also all kinds of Magnas, Permatons, Dessauers/Lazers/De-Was/SKs with all kinds of tape (ORWO formulations? New formulas and tape coated at the former ORWO place in Dessau? SKC bulk orders? BASF? Hong Kong? Seems like it was a rollercoaster) ...don't forget the weird Italian animal called Magnex (Scotch factory? Sony plant? Own formulas?) In the end, it all again comes to 2 things:
1) Some Euro brands are still unexplored. They are items of collectible value but no one really unwraps one, recalls what they sounded like back then, 25-35 years ago, or reports their findings on the Web (as if they were obliged to 😄)
2) The other brands either have marvellous-sounding, or at least decent, tape or they are loaded with Type 0.
(And it's not "shortly" anymore 😜)
(And maybe the quality *IS* the top priority thing? Forget the tape anthology shenanigans and focus on the rust? B-but IMO it's an interesting kind of research 😅)
*Были жалобы, что ECP начали с ленты BASF, продолжили со своими басфовскими наработками, а закончили с сыпящимся низкокачественным чудом в лучших традициях Союза 😄 Не проверял, но в каждой шутке есть доля правды
Tudor was active in Spain and had nothing common with East German Orwo. It was standard known company in Spain. Same for Socimag.
@@sevcaczech5961Have they been produced there? Why can it not be made somewhere else? One might say Skoda is sold in Spain, so has nothing to do with Czech Republic)) Cheers
Really interesting tape. Here in the US most of what we had to buy was either the usual suspects like Sony, Maxell, Memorex and Fuji and totally cheap stuff like Certron and the store brands.
I agree with you that this is the time to buy if you're in it for the long haul. I'm personally embracing the secondhand market as I can still occasionally find collections of music I don't want to listen to and will wipe it and replace it with my own recordings.
I used to do the same thing: I would go to thrift stores,find some old blanks and record over them. The best part...they were .10 a piece.
I think the Tudor logo looks cool too. Rather retro.
Yep, the prices will skyrocket the more cassettes become an in thing again. I'm glad of got a load, plus I'm stocking up.
I'll be honest, I'm a TDK fan, not the kind that only gets TDK tho, but for the same price, I'll always choose TDK over others. The funny thing is, that I mostly find just TDK xD
In thrift stores, I still find plenty of brand new tapes, the last 2 years, I probably added 60 new tapes and 15 of those where type II (mostly TDK SA). Usually cost me like 20-30¢ per tape, so this hobby is really inexpensive to me. I got a Luxman K-111 for 3$ 3 years ago at a garage sell, my best buy yet, never had a deck that sounded so good.
Been taping since... well always. Was born in 95, so when I was a child, I was taping and I just never stoped.
I really want to thank you so much for those videos, you are one of the best youtuber on that subjet. I found your channel 2 days ago and I really like it !
Nice to hear from the next generation still taping. Good score on that Luxman.
I like BASF Chrome super quality 2. Don't know if they are great but they're the best I've used so far.
Love your videos! I have learned a little more about cassettes (and about magnetic tape it's self) I wonder if I can get those cassettes here in the states? it seems to me if they preform that great in expensive decks (I thought these preformed pretty good for type I cassettes (although I would use about +3 DB) the should preform good on my lower line deck. Again thanks for the education on cassette tapes! (I have watch a lot of you videos and seem to always come away have learned something i didn't ether know or had forgotten from using digital for so long. Thanks again!
A long time ago, in the nineties, 95% of people in Poland bought TDK, SONY and BASF cassettes. I then chose Raks, SKC, Maxell and Fuji. I've never been a fan of one or two brands. I really appreciated Raks and That's tapes. It was only from your movies that I learned that Taiyo Yuden is responsible for the latter company. This in itself explains the excellent quality of these tapes. Now there is no such choice as it used to be, but you can still own enough good Fuji cassettes (K2 or even Z2) as well as Maxell XL-II or SKC LX for little money. New tapes, from new producers (especially American ones), are saddly has poor quality and more like sandpaper than a magnetic carrier. I do not buy such tapes, but what Korean companies release is still sensible and still maintains a reasonable level of quality, so from time to time I allow myself the luxury of buying a new cassette. Is a pity to tire the old ones :).
which korean brands are still producing? might need to place an order myself ;)
This tape sounded quieter than the source. I usually cannot hear any difference at all between the source and the recording when you switch back and forth, but I could hear a difference on this tape. It might have just been volume though.
To the best of my recollection, pretty much all pre-recorded tapes were type I. I have a bunch of tapes I made in the late 90s on Nicorette Gum tapes that were included in the gum packs. They all still sound pretty good. A lot of them, from what I recall, were made from mp3 files I downloaded off the internet. I burned them to CD and then taped them for use in the car, along with recordings off of records. Ah, the good old days...
Never ever buy tapes from ebay, the sellers must be on drugs with the prices they charge.
@ungratefulmetalpansy And as for cassettes, there are some "paradise" merchants on Ebay with bargain pricing, interestingly most of them come from only several countries - and I'm not talking the U.S. (however cheap the price tag may be on a job lot from the States, shipping+customs taxes very often eats up double the original pricing). Not all hope is lost.
Also Tony's store, IMO, has extremely competitive pricing. You're not going to get it much cheaper - unless you buy cassettes in truck loads 😄
@ungratefulmetalpansy I sold 35 quality blanks on ebay for 32 quid last year it was on bids, every tape was mint and either tdk ar90 or maxell typeii
No they never will, because it is mp3 substitute on cd substitute.
@ungratefulmetalpansy yeah sold all mine a while back must have had about 100 of them. The only one that went to decent money was the MDHD.
that's for anything really.. most people it seems cannot be arsed for under £30 these days.
Interesting review. I'm with you that the Tudor CR could be a BASF chrome. For the HF tape, which looks a bit like the BASF LH-D tape, there is also another possibility: It could be the same tape which was used by Philips and PDM for their FSX and FE/FE-X models, the ones that came in Swiss ICM shells. The entry level model Tudor DS is probably no BASF, and I have not yet found a matching counterpart from a known tape manufacturer.
Now to the shells and hubs. While the hubs are clearly a BASF design, they can also come from a third party manufacturer. Even BASF did not make all of the mechanical parts in-house. The clear shells used by these Tudor and late Socimag cassettes are made in Spain. Inside some of them, you can spot the embossed word INVERHOUSE, sometimes only IH, sometimes there is nothing.
To our Spanish friends: Did Tudor make tape themselves, or did they have the cassettes OEM made/assembled by Socimag? I only know of Tudor being a battery company.
Oh, I need to make some test recordings on my Tudor cassettes, maybe I can find out more that way...
In Sweden, I have also found Tudor cassettes from the 70's, but these were coming from Pyral instead!
Nice info. We'll get there in the end 😀
Thx a ton Martin, you da real MVP 👍👍
(btw: "Holiday" and "Black Star" cassettes should be from the same manufacturer as Socimag/Tudor, iirc. This would probably explain the "i" letter on Holiday shells.)
(whoever reads this with a specific sporting/hunting intention, **tsk* *tsk** you didn't see anything 😉)
I don't know abot other countries, but, in my limited knowledge of the world at that time, in the '80s (my childhood) Tudor only marketed batteries and the usual stuff associated with that, like for instance torches, and replacement bulbs for those. Never knew they marketed tapes.
Yeah, makes sense for them to branch out. Apparently they still make batteries.
Another superb video.
Saw the video. Loved what you said. Ordered some blanks (from you). Thanks :)
You'll enjoy them!
If only your store was still open,,,sad 2022. Checked in with Canada store no Tudor tapes.
Should contain AGFA FE1 (later called AGFA F-DX1)= BASF FERRO Extra material :-) The rims might differ but Agfa and BASF and even ORWO/Dessau shared the same formula :-)
My brother once, long ago, had these Sony metal cassettes with a full ceramic case. He said they were the best tapes ever made! He dumped them in the early 90's. Stupidly enough, i did not want them then because i had MiniDiscs! How stupid was i!?! Have you ever come across them? Could be a nice subject for a future video, perhaps.
Sony Metal Masters. I love MiniDisc too 😀
I clicked thumbs up because I liked the video. Take that intro hater guy.
😍
Don't listen to that one idiots option because I like the videos that you put out and I know that your videos are informative and informational and educational so like I said don't listen to an idiot because he doesn't know what he's talking about and rock on!!!
Yeah, I don't. They disappear from my life forever 😀
@@CassetteComeback that's good to know
Hi, Tony! Good thing is that people getting to know some not very famous cassette manufacturers. Recently I purchased from Russian internet auction seller TUDOR CR 90 tape and also SOCIMAG, and also I bought from him a TUDOR DS 90 Type I cassette. I just wonder, how good TUDOR DS would appear to be. Do you know anything about TUDOR DS? (It says "Dynamic Ferro", so I expect it to be probably close to BASF Ferro Extra I. When it will be shipped to me, I will try to record on it. Currently I have very good Soviet deck as I told you, but it is two-headed only and has only bias adjustment screw under the cassette door. But I like this deck, since after professional repair, tuning and capacitor replacement it can get decent results from almost any cassette I tried to record on it. So, if you wonder, I can let you know how Tudor DS did perform on my deck. By the way, since nobody in Russia knows about TUDOR and SOCIMAG, the price for these tapes from that guy was very reasonable, TUDOR CR was even cheaper, for example, then some BASF Type I tapes.
The brand plays a big part, but as I'm saying in the video, it's time to embrace good "unknown" cassettes, as the big name ones are becoming harder to get and pricy. I may try the Tudor DS out, but let me know how you get on.
@@CassetteComeback Hi, Tony! Today just received my Tudor DS cassette (which says Dynamic Ferric on it). I made the comparison test with 1997 TDK D tape, and what can I tell you& Tudor DS got better bas response, then TDK D, as of my ears, but highs are more crisp in TDK D, but not very significantly. Tudor DS takes +3 level easily, without any distortion, and doesn't give level loss. During playback lelel was pretty much the same as during recording. I didn't experiment with bias adjustment, since my friend, who calibrated the deck, told me better not to touch it. So I would recommend this cassette as good ferric tape.
Hello Tony, I can't seem to find the Tudor HF on your site, only the DS, have you sold out.
Yeah. The DS perform very similar however.
Still got my tape winder from Tandy .this one is geared .
True about tapes prises but if you by a load of second hand tapes be aware they could be well worn .
I am sitting on a GOLDMINE of tapes , none for sale , Betamax video tapes too but no deck for them now .
Only pay for what the item is worth , NOT the HYPE !
Wise words...but you have to spoil yourself sometimes 😉 I don't think there will be a big resurgence in video cassettes however, unless in the pro market for the likes of BetaCam tapes. Audio cassettes have a certain sound about them, that modern digital is missing. This is a main reason people come back to them, along with their aesthetics. Video tapes don't have that character and are bettered in every way by DVD, let alone Blu-Ray.
@@CassetteComeback VHS 4 - 6 head is Digital I know so it lacks detail on the top end and mid band but I use them for a 4 hour Club & Rave on my decks .
I have TONNES of VHS tapes now .
VHS decks are NOT practical in operation like a audio tape deck , 3Head VHS was better .
i'd try any tape i can get. because i know what those big brands are like. i have no issue trying something like this, just to check them out. and if they are good. then i will go grab some more. but i've never heard of either of those kinds.
Why does the pitch sound a little too slow on the close up shots of the Dragon?
You mean the 400hz level tone?
Would be interesting to know whether the DS is above or below the HF in the lineup 😏
And Spanish tapes on the whole, it appears, are a treasure. Heck, maybe even old LN (pre-IEC low-noise-not-so-high-output) formulations are a treasure, unless you're dealing with reslitted video tape - and if the equipment allows you to compensate for miscalibration. Yes they tended to saturate earlier (if I'm not mistaken) but... the noise floor was also lower, again IIRC. In short: why not try everything you get hold of?.. I don't think a tape can damage your deck SO badly you'll want to stay away from anything excluding TDK and Maxell 🙂
Reel to reel sounds even better. ;)
really? wooow......
Used to have one of those Bibs back in the 80s. Been looking for another one for ages. Where did you get yours?
Got them with a load of Cassettes.
Took a hop over to your sight and could not find the Tudor HF. I'll look again after work. I did look on eBay and wow! Prices on those have gone UP!
www.cassettecomeback.com/products/tudor-hf-1990s-eu
There is a thing on eBay for buying current Maxell UR tapes (which can be bought for a pound a piece), and selling them for £2 plus, while describing them as rare. Cheeky sods!
@@Fluteboy Hell I got a box of 500 of the UR's for $45! Shipped!
Enjoy! They may not be the pinnacle of cassette technology, but they are very capable in a good deck.
Great video and a great channel - I've learned a lot from watching and listening to you - cheers :) On a similar note to the one you made in the video: for those on the diametrically-opposite end of the fanboy spectrum who don't care what you record on as long as the end result sounds good, keep an eye open for "The Classical Collection" - it was a periodical that ran in the early 90's published by Orbis that came with a 60+ minute cassette. I was given a whole heap of them by someone on Freecycle who was just having a clear-out. The performances are basic (Point Classics, need I say more) and the sound quality is pathetic... but it's BASF pure chrome tape inside; Crayola smell and all :) The shells are built in such a way that it only takes a set of pliers to create a Type II notch; tape up the write-protect hole, and voila! A 60-minute pure chrome BASF saved from someone's dustbin.
Good tip!
Been looking for the Tudor brand in the German brands register (on the off chance with BASF and AGFA both being German companies) I found something else instead. register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/registerIR?AKZ=603193&CURSOR=8
The name on the cassettes shows an identical brand logo to the one registered by a Spanish battery manufacturer. So they were possibly produced for the Spanish market?
Indeed, they were for the Spanish market, hence why they're relatively unknown outside of Spain.
@@CassetteComeback Tudor was a best type of battery manufacturer, yes in Portugal also, now gone. You would find their vintage signs in the entrance of old auto mechanics garages.
I’ve never seen the Tudor HF before. Sony did the HF cassettes back in the mid to late 1980’s right up until the 2000’s, but Tudor took a stab at the HF name, because Sony already did the HF name on cassettes.
If you're going to try and make a "copycat" might as well copy the best selling.
Hello from Finland. It would be nice to see unfamous RAKS to be in test. I have here RAKS CD-X cassettes. Dark color of RAKS CD-X -tape (type-I) says Super Ferro, and +3 -5 db with no audible distorion . Byt who knows, perhaps Cassette Comeback???
I'd love to but I've not really got any Raks, they're now hard to find 😣
Hi again, i can arrange RAKS CD-X cassettes from finnish guy if you are interested.
I'm after a decent, but affordable cassette deck from eBay... Any recommendations? I'm looking to spend no more than £100-£150ish.
Have a look at the Sony tc-k611s sound be in your price range and was a good deck when I had one. Like all these things they are getting old so might need new belts and possibly motors if left switched on.
@@roasthunter Thanks for the advice. I can remember these decks from the time. I actually had the 2 head version back in 1994. I couldn't quite afford this version. Much appreciated... 👍
Always thumbs up!
i do wonder, if you could experiment with double speed recording and see if or how much quality gain you would get.
i know about 1 4 track cassette recorder that does 2x recording, but i guess this isnt common for consumer recorders/players since it will turn a 90min to a 45 min cassette.
It is better quality, hence why it was done speed for "pro" application. There are some double speed consumer decks out there, but they're not common.
I would love to buy these but importing them from Europe is expensive as compared to buying a tape from the States even with the shipping. I am always looking to try different cassettes.
How do you think us Europeans feel? You guys have for more cassettes at better prices than us...
Seems to be a common problem with the slip sheets in clear SKC tapes... I have some Memorex dBS (made by SKC) that suffer the same issue... However, SKC tapes have my favorite hubs and it's still decent film.
I'm sure an open and a static "discharge" will sort it. I'm trying to find an easy way to do it.
@@CassetteComeback I have had luck with this. I open the cassette, take the two sheets and gently rub them together. Then re-assemble the cassette, only turning the screws until snug. Then a couple of cycles rewinding the tape end to end. It's time consuming, but hey, it's for the love of the hobby
Those Tudor CR tapes are very very good !
They really are and are superb value
In the old times 70s/80s the best sound was TDK and poor man was BASF (in Europe) maybe now there's only one manufacturer of magnetic tape I guess. I'm not talking about studios quality but only "FNAC" type shopping.
How does the color of the tape itself compare to similar BASF tapes? From the side it looked like a fairly typical ferric.
I can't see the appearance of any Cobalt doping, they are a nice rich brown.
@@CassetteComeback one more thing and I'm finally shutting up 😄: it'd be nice to check the Saisho tape colour. If I'm not mistaken, dark "rich brown" = BASF after the Agfa acquisition; rusty brown = AGFA or earlier BASF, or late BASF "Ferro Standard" (a grade below Extra, possibly just an older variant); very rusty, almost orange, brick coloured brown = Emtec; and milky (sorta like whitened) light brown (I ♥ that colour) = another kind of AGFA. There may be errors.
Hi, great videos as always. I have a business plan, take a cheapest Maxell UR cassette, record some test tones 1kHz, 10kHz etc. on Your Dragon put it on sale on Your store. I desperatley need calibrating my decks but it's hard to find reputable source of that kind of material. :)
I actually got some 20 minute BASF Reference Maxima 2 for another project, but did make a calibration tape with one. 400hz @0db on one side for level / speed (as the dragon is quartz locked) and 10khz @-6 for azimuth on the other. Don't know about selling alignment cassettes though, it's fine for my own use, but I don't know whether I could "stand by" them for others.
Fair point, but i think there will be others who would buy them not only me in particular. Dragon is an amazing deck unfortunately not for my pocket. And I would have a great honor to have my deck calibrated and traced to it. I'll keep my eyes open on Your website maybe one day I'll spot something I'm looking for. Regardless keep up great work. :)
are static on tapes are bad?
YOU ARE THE BEST:-)

I put all my cassette into the dump, they served a purpose at the time but don't see any reason to do anything new on cassette, even much better mediums like CD are almost dead, lots of SA90, BASF, Philips, Sony etc went into the dump. The only dissappointment is people paying stupid money for this stuff, I could have sold them to someone.
Some people see millions of dollars in a Ming vase. Others see something to put flowers in...
@@CassetteComeback I had lots of Walkmans and a reasonable Sony dolby s deck back in the day. Cassettes were a good portable medium for their time but I see little point in them these days other than for things like retro computers where there is no other medium easily compatible. As a means to listen to music why would you use them? Even on the highest quality decks the sound is OK at best and inferior to modern tech. I guess I don't know why someone would buy a record these days either.
One step ahead was the BASF Ferro Maxima formula = AGFA FDX1S: ua-cam.com/video/zUhqQBTMTgw/v-deo.html
I know a guy who I went to high school with in the 80’s. He was a Sony fan boy then & still is now. Same with Coke. Always talks shit when you mention Pepsi.
Just don't get it, embrace what's good for being good.
Cassette Comeback Thinks Sony makes the best selling TV’s and pc/phone. A few years ago I told him that nobody buys Sony phones & a lot of newer brands have better selling TV’s. He was like “But But, They got record company’s & movies. Had to tell him “Yeah! And who pays for music anymore.” (This was several years ago) & their movie studios only big Products were their back catalog. Same as the record co. He couldn’t believe when I told him that Sony was selling off other properties that they Had, to lessen their profit loss. The only thing that they had that was really producing revenue for them was PlayStation. He didn’t want to believe any of this b/c of his blind fanboyisom!
Perception is more important than reality
At +5dB you can clearly hear some distortion with both AR and HF compare to source. +4 or +3dB could be OK.
This music is distorted Tony!
Hi Tony, to be honest I've never seen this brand in my life. But I think your right about this tape. I see it like this way. As you know we have a major brand in Holland Philips. The same products allso but for a price less, called Aristona and more less was Erres. So why not that BASF does have a wide tape and the inner side is called BASF and the outer site called Tudor? I've just orderd some cassettes but, I'm thinking to order some off those aswell just to try out.
Now something else, You say you use music from the free youtube libary. But I allso see needle drops and some stay on the youtube channel. Purly because the artist likes it their music is used and that way get promoted. E.G. a number by Rush I include the link maybe you can use the number aswell Uncompressed 🤣😂 ua-cam.com/video/2X6Bsa70HPU/v-deo.html Kind regards
