    Beautiful stuff, John Klemmer's saxophone playing is outstanding. Session players with him are also outstanding.

    In this video clip, you're demonstrating the superb audio quality coming from Nautilus cassette tape format that is aged well over thirty years.

    Excellent efforts, Oz. ......

    Thank you Bluesy!

    Like I said, it is I who needs to thank you and you were the catalyst for the latest flurry of cassette based videos for my YouTube channel. It was overdue.

    Cheers!

    So glad that you're posting these Nautilus Cassette mini vids, Oz ..... Hoping that others on the forum are appreciating your efforts.

    By the way, your Nak 680 ZX deck is looking really good too !!!

    Cheers,

    Bleus de Nakker

    Thank you Bluesy! I am humbled. More videos will come in the next weeks for sure! Even ones done on my Aiwa CS-210 boombox, because, why not?

    Thanks Oswaldo. I enjoy your videos.
    Just a small suggestion: it would be nicer if you start the video with the deck turned of and you show how you turn it on, put the cassette in, press the buttons...

    Are those Supercassettes encoded with Dolby or dbx?

    Good suggestion. I will try doing a video from wider perspective and showing me loading the deck and hitting "play" because, why not? :p

    Anyway all four of the Nautilus SuperCassettes thus far have been Dolby B encoded - but no matter, clearly they sound well decoded by my Nakamichi 680ZX

    Actually I am surprised they were not encoded with Dolby C like the Nakamichi Reference Recording series which were available in both flavors. Also, these Nautilus were done on Maxell UDXL-II Type 2 tape unlike the Nad tapes which were done on TDK Metal so go figure. They sound just as good. In fact, I am super curious what the duplication decks used was on these Nautilus. I know they were duplicated in real 1:1 time but nowhere have I ever seen or read what equipment was used. Hmm!
