Call around to see who is presently running one of these sales. Try The Appliance Store.

Others have said its a good place for cheap cassettes. Chandu. ============================================================================= Philippe, As far as I know, the Kelly and Cohen chain of stores and the Sound Stores (part of the Appliance Store chain) occassionally have sales on TDK SA90s. Olsen Electronics also carries high quality tapes for reasonable prices. (Consult the phone book for a location near you.) Usually, Kelly and Cohen is cheapest. Prices range from 1.69/tape to 2.19/tape. Kelly and Cohen also sell Maxell tapes, which are arguably as good or better than TDKs. They say that buying tapes in bulk through mail order is the least expensive. If you or someone you know decides to get a order together, please let me know. Also, please send me what you find out (or a summary). We can't get Bovik at the SEI :-( Bill (wkm@sei.cmu.edu) P.S. There is an article in a recent Consumers Report magazine on tapes that you may be interested in. It's in one of the last two or three issues. =============================================================================
