I am starting to get back into home recording and i have alot of fun recording onto cassette for local bands and my own stuff off of CD for private listening.I was wondering out of the Sony UX-PRO,Maxell XLII-S and the TDK SA-X tape which is the better tape?I have used both the Maxell and TDK but never the Sony UX-PRO which i can still get on-line even though it has been discontinued.I have been told that the Sony UX-PRO was the best high bias tape ever made but i have never had a chance to use one.How does the UX-PRO stack up and in everyone's opinnion which tape is the better choice?Thanks very much for any help in choosing one..PEACE.Keith H.

If you can find them, the TDK SM-X series are the best I have used. they are more for studio use. I used to use them for demo stuff all the time. Now everything goes on CD, so I have an abundance of them laying around. I still use them on occasion when someone wants a cassette. I think Musicians Friend or Guitar Center might still carry them.
