Not yet.
Today was the day that two types came in for testing,
based on the experience that we had a really small chance tot succes.
Here the results, NO good RECORDING POSSIBLE !!!
Note: sound of video is not comming from the recording.

Before we ordered the red shell tapes.
We did a really positive recording with a NOS Sony UX-S tapes.
(note: we recorded a hole ablum and played in multiple players, merely is the tape not as shock proof as a normal DCC)
Till to day this is the only way to go …
… if someone has additional in signed let us know.

Thanks for trying. Much appreciated.
The only other thing that could be worth testing, if the tape of both would work in a original dcc shell?

Was worth a try although kind of disappointing, thanks for trying!
Love the dedication but such a shame it did not work. Would love to buy actually new tapes vs the nos blank tapes.

The chrome tape is NOS but more of it is available then DCC tapes, it is younger and properly stored.
I know it’s an old thread, bit I did manage recording on a chrome tape. It was a sony and it said CD-IT on the package… drilled holes in it and it worked, even with the standard felt pad…

How about dropouts?

Well… if I recall it was doable… 3 dropouts per album. So for a standard cassette not bad. I guess this tape in a DCC shell would play even better!

Precisely. I am sure the overall construction of the shell contributes a lot to the stability. I am thinking of the tape guides inside, the foil, and of course the felt pad construction with the 2 metal ridges for optimum tape guiding and transport.
