I have to wonder what the attraction to Maxell tape is, in regards to the inflated prices (even over new RMGI and ATR at times). I have two reels of UD 35-180 and they sound great, but I can't say that I would pay through the nose for it.
However, I never really hear about Maxell being mentioned in the same conversations as SSS. Could this be the key? Keep in mind, I'm referring to 1/4" tape here. What little tape I have includes: Maxell UD 35-180, RMGI SM-911, RMGI LPR-35, and about a half dozen of old Realistic Supertape (1800 and 3600). Believe it or not, the Realistic has held up remarkably well considering my ignorance of reel to reel and tape handling in my youth.
Any insight to the "secret" of Maxell tape?
