I spoke with this "Audiovox" guy and I asked him about those cassettes. Believe it or not , but all those "Audiovox" reels are made of plain steel .. Those reels will damage your records and your tape because steel is a magnetic metal . In addition ,they rub against cassette walls because nothing protects them from friction and that makes them stuck and in a few minutes of usage you'll see circular scratches or blurriness on your transparent cassette case.. And the cherry on cake - small rust spots instead of prints on your reels will appear in a while.. Reels must be made of non-magnetic materials only ! Absence of Friction Between Reels and Cassette walls is A MUST . P.S. HQ Reel Cassettes are here : https://sites.google.com/view/reelcassettetapes
What is the max play duration of reel-to-reel cassettes? 52 minutes as it is shown on the reels, that is, 26 minutes per side?
@ReelCassetteStore: so for 42 minutes total playback time you use thicker tape from 60-minute cassettes?
Yes, Sir. This is the best way. I can do more tape, but when the tape roll is bigger than reel diameter - it doesn't look right. In addition thick tape is better and more reliable if we're talking about older boomboxes. Check the typical numbers of original reel cassettes - they are 42 , 46 , 52 , 60 and 90 min 90 min is available only on latest models like TEAC CRC 90 where tape rolls are bigger than reels diameter - see the attachment
