Description/History:
This is Denon's flagship Metal Bias
cassette, the MG-X. As far as I know, it only
came in 100 minutes, but there may be 90 minute
versions out there. It is not possible there is a
60 minute version. The shell is about the same
weight as the Maxell XLII-S, maybe heavier. The
shell also adds better protection so that the
cassette doesn't get damaged. As like all other Denon
cassettes, you have to set the line in higher than
usual to get the full sound of the cassette, but
that is a formality from this diverse cassette. The
Dolby settings is best with C, but Dolby B recordings
have great warmth. I have found the best quality
is from the digital sources and from LP vinyl. The MG-X still remains a top choice among
audiophilles, and gets snapped up on eBay at quite a price. |
