Samsung SQC - 1997 - SK
"A "Studio Quality Cassette" apparently... everything about this tape says it is a high-end super ferric. These are an absolute bargain. Not too many available. If you a special recording to do, these are fabulous tapes! Saehan in Korea made a lot of tapes for other manufacturers towards the end of cassettes being in the mainstream. Fuji, Maxell, Mitsubishi and BBC were among those that re-branded Saehan cassettes, like Samsung have here, and this one shares its shell with many other cassettes, but the Samsung versions aren't that common. These are just good Type I cassettes. Sturdy and very clear shell. They need Noise Reduction and some positive bias, and can be perfectly musical." Tony Villa
Fans of higher grade type I tape: This cassette has a set of 'no-frills' clear shells, but it's filled with a fantastic 'bona-fied' super-ferric tape formulation, if not indeed. It's great to use and keep it as a "Master Tape", and reproduce future copies from it.
Note from Samsung: A tape with "ultra-high" quality, and of high performance. Special formulation that ensures accurate, true-to-life reproduction of all types of music.
Note 1: 60 Minutes: Made in South Korea. Light scuffing. Only 1 available.
Note 2: 90 Minutes: Assembled in Mexico. Light scuffing. Very few available.
Video note: Watch Tony Villa's YouTube video on a Samsung tape that is essentially the same as this one featured here in our site. High quality cassettes!
