Unwrapping and testing: SONY HF 60 (1995, Assy Mexico) & SONY EF 60 (2000, Thailand) audio cassettes

ENG:
Unsealing and a closer look at the SONY HF 60 audio cassette, type I, from 1995, intended for the U.S.A. market. Japan and U.S.A. made components, assembled in Mexico. In the second part I've tested for comparison, the audio cassette SONY EF 60, type I, from 2000, made in Thailand and destined for the EU market. For the calibration and recording tests I used the Pioneer CT-676 3-Head Stereo Cassette Tape Deck built in 1991. The sound is captured through the external sound card Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD directly from the headphone output of the deck so that you can make an objective opinion on the sound quality and implicitly the tapes.

RO:
Desigilarea si o privire de aproape asupra casetei audio SONY HF 60, tip I, din 1995, destinata pentru piata din S.U.A.. Componentele sunt facute in Japonia si S.U.A., asamblata in Mexic. In partea a doua am testat pentru comparatie, caseta audio SONY EF 60, tip I, din 2000, facuta in Tailanda si destinata pentru piata din UE. Pentru testul de calibrare si inregistrare am folosit, casetofonul deck stereo cu 3 capete Pioneer CT-676 construit in anul 1991. Sunetul este captat prin placa de sunet externa Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD direct din iesirea pentru casti a casetofonului deck astfel incat va puteti face o opinie cat de cat obiectiva asupra calitatii sunetului si implicit a casetelor.
