Denon HD8 - 1988 - US

Denon are consistently some of the most expensive blank Cassette brand out there.

Who they were made by varies, some say in house, some will say SKC (probably after early 90's), but regardless, they look good and sound great.

This is their top of the line Type II - Metal, ferric and cobalt particles, but for Type II bias. These tapes do have more hiss than a normal cobalt/ferric Type II, but it's negated by the fact that the manufacturer recommends these are recorded at +7db (look at the back of the wrapper).


NOTE 1: The 100 Minutes Tapes are practically 100% clean and free of scuffing.
NOTE 2: B-Grade 60 Minutes. Light scuffing and two minor tears - see pics and try to spot them. SOLD.
NOTE 3: B-Grade 100 Minutes. 1 Available. This one has light scuffing but it has a small rip (repaired) and 3 other super tiny rips, almost unnoticeable.
