Revocate the agitator, Revocate the agitator, Revocate the agitator, Revocate the agitator...
Thanks for the comments everyone.
F4U57, that's a fucking boss library. Black metal tapes are so deep, I can't even begin to fathom trying to collect that genre. I'm more of a thrash/death guy anyway, but for real those are some impressive tapes.
norton, lemme see those thrash and speed tapes
I end up getting most of my tapes on Facebook groups or through Discogs. Very rarely do I find a tape in the wild that I'm actually interested in.

I've lost almost all of my tapes. Missing for years, this one turned up Easter Sunday.

Can anyone recommend a stand alone Dolby SR unit?
I'm thinking of getting one to do both cassette and open real mix tapes. Now if I could get a Dolby SR unit and slow my RTR down to 1 7/8" ips... That would be ace. Nearly six and half hours per side.
What kind of deck are you using for recording cassettes?
Rolling some tapes today...
Dio Sacred Heart
Massacre From Beyond
Ozzy Blizzard of Oz
Overkill Taking Over
Black Sabbath Heaven & Hell
Whatever I pick up for $5, until it stops working.
If I bother to Pick up a Belt for my TEAC A120 Piano key deck, I would use that.
I would like to find a nice Dragon on the cheap.
But the SR stand alone unit would be more for the Reel to Reel stuff.
How good do SR encoded tapes sound without the decoder? Or with a B decoder? My reason for doing cassette mixes would be more for portable devices.
LOLZ at cassette tapes. I'm only into big tapes. I've been itching to dive into reel to reel. When I do, I will have officially lost my mind
The Otari 5050 is on my short list.

Fuckin hipster
I get Vinyl, I get flac flawless rips... but tape? That shit is just nostalga surely. Horrible sound quality.
Not a reason not to collect them, album covers and rare releases, sure I get that. Just a bit confused people would choose to listen to tape in 2018 if there was an alternative.
