I have just purchased an Alpine set up for my car. With the modular system the sound is awesome. My friend showed me several different tapes in the system. All except one sounded ok. The odd one out was unreal. The bass and highs were much more vivid than the rest. As it turns out, the good tape was maxell udxls-2 taped with high bias. The question I have is... What type of home tape deck do I now have to buy to reproduce that clean sound onto the xls-2 tape? There are soooo many and the prices vary greatly. Also the Alpine is set up for metal tapes. Are these any better or just more expensive? Please help me before I throw away several hundred dollars on something I may not need. Thanks in advance. Hal Bates teklabs!tekid!halb
