If there s one thing CDs have done they ve spoiled us. Crystal clear sound every time. No magnetized or dirty heads. And your CD player will never eat a disc. Cassette tapes are another story. They are convenient, but fragile portable but limited. Cassette players are exposed to dust and hair, and every time you play a tape, it leaves behind tiny pieces of metal called oxides. Build up of oxides and dust will dull the sound and even cause the tape to get caught in a sticky roller, stretch and break. In other words, your tape gets eaten. The Ultra Pro Audio Cleaner uses five non-abrasive fiber felt pads and a tension wiper arm to create firm pressure and remove stubborn oxide build up. It uses Ultreen cleaning solution to clean the entire surface of the rollers and the tape head. Using this on a regular basis (once a month or so) will help save your tapes from getting eaten and keep the sound nice and clear.
