Sep 13, 2003 08:11 pm For what it's worth the best tape I came across and used for 4 track & reel-reel 8 track was the Maxell ud XLII. I also used TDK for bit but the Maxell could take more signal before saturation set in.
Please help me decide,Maxell XLII-S or TDK SA-X blank cassette's?

Sep 13, 2003 08:16 pm hey Keith, I know you've posted about this before. Sorry I can't help with tape questions as most everyone here records digitally to hard disk. Those Nakamichi Dragons are expensive! Never even saw one IRL, but I've used other Nakamichi home stereo equipment, like receivers etc. Nice stuff.
What exactly are you recording? just curious -j
Sep 14, 2003 12:59 pm Something else to consider is that most pro decks are calibrated for a certain brand/type of tape. It should say in your manual which was used. It doesn't mean you can't use another brand but some tapes will work better than others.
If I were you I would purchase a few different brands and try them before making a bulk purchase. Ampeg, Scotch, Maxell, TDK and maybe Memorex are the ones I'd try.
