Misc. Info.
I've noticed in the past, traders get so caught
up with using ONLY Maxell XLII's just because everyone else does.
Fact is XLII's aren't even the best, nor is it the cheapest for its product.
While I do use XLII's as frequently as possible to avoid confrontation
from "Pro" traders, I accept just about anything else that would mark in
the "high quality" territory.
Consumer
Reports, THE BEST rater for everything one can buy has
published
results on extensive, PROFESSIONAL tests on several kinds of
"high
quality" blank tapes. Tests on wear, performance, warping, and
so
on. Here's the results:
