Denon HD7 - 1987 - US

Denon were only sold in the EU for a short amount of time and in limited outlets. They weren't seen in chain stores, or sold in packs of 10.

Denon are currently also the most consistently expensive blank Cassette brand out there.

Who they were made by varies, some say SKC, some say in house, but regardless, they look good and sound great.

This variant has not been spotted very often. Notice its clearer window between the two hubs and a lesser transparent window over the hubs. Nice touch indeed! These must have been part of a very short run (my guess). Just not as commonly seen as some from other lines produced by Denon. I will stop offering these soon at the current price (sorry!). They have been snapped up very quickly.

But in general, Denon are always very expensive tapes, and that's just the way it's going to remain, unless someone uncovers a warehouse full of them... and even then!

NOTE 1: Very few available of these now. RARE.
NOTE 2: #B-101. B-Grade (-). It's a B-grade tape that I opened to take pictures.
NOTE 3: #D-101. D-Grade. 100% Sealed. Has a crack on the front, but it's still together. One crack on the other side same corner, this one has real damaged. It appears to me there is Zero damage to the actual tape, but it is sealed. The case has to be replaced.
