Re: What are Maxell Metal "Capsule" tapes? ...

Howdy,

Metal Capsule tapes from Maxell are perfectly good type IVs - these heralded the gradual introduction by tape manufacturers of more affordable metals to the market. It was a good move and introduced many to the entirely different and superior sound of metal. What new metal users discovered though, was that their cheaper decks could not handle the higher rec head current needed for them.

You will not be disappointed and they won't let you down - they are on a par with Maxell MX - but the shell, while trouble-free is assembled more affordably. Equivalents sonically would be Maxell Metal CD, and Sony SR Metal.

Good luck - Marc
