GALLUNOPTIMAL UR90 audio cassettes 90 min. Empty cassettes, pack of 5

i placed my order and it arrived on time and in good condition,,,will buy this product again,,very pleased,,,

easy to use

An update to this review - i have experimented with these cassettes, and found that they cannot be recorded above 0db (-1db recommended) at all, otherwise the wavering of sound (distortion) is very pronounced and the bias recording setting has to be very negative (on my deck about -3.5).With Dolby B NR.. when this is done the output is much better. I have added another star to my review, as they are at least usable now,, the output is ok.Used to record a new LP, from rega planar 3 turntable, through an Arcam A70 amp, to a Nakamichi DR-3 Tapedeck...+3db and Dolby B NR.I wasn't expecting miracles, just standard normal bias performance.. They do not deliver this, the sound recorded is very dull, and almost flat, with practically no detail..But worst of all, as was commented elsewhere in a review, there is a wavering of the sound output up and down in volume.DON'T buy these, pay more for the maxell UR if you can get them.The best you can get out of these is spoken word maybe..Awful yokes

Every one of the 10 cassettes I bought has proved to be faulty. Most have simply refused to record/play to the end and then reverse, either going to and fro then unwinding or 1 or 2 have actually split when they were stuck in the cassette player. It may seem trivial in the grand scheme of things, but for years I have relied on recording plays or other programmes from the radio and listening to them on the Walkman when I lie down to rest. I have now missed the ends of many plays or the final instalments of serials. This is very irritating and means a) that I have completely wasted my money buying 2 packs of useless tapes and b) I now have no 90-minute tapes. I have plenty of TDK 60-minute tapes which work perfectly well, but this does not help when I want to record for longer.

I have only used one tape at the moment. And I am well impressed with the results.

Recording programs.

Listening to the radio

this could be a great cassette with a little bit more of quality control.To make them work I had to open them one by one, remove the useless black plastic that they put inside because it makes friction on the tape generating problem during the twist.I had to fix all the small white reels because some of them were blocked.Randomly some parts of the tape are damaged.The tape itself has a good sound, but really, to use this cassette you have to basically spend 1 hour fixing all the problems.I'm missing the old BASF :(
