You know they really should mail out a free test roll of the stuff to people who sign up for their mailing list. I wouldnt mind trying 1/2" or 1/4". But I wouldnt buy it unless i knew it was good...

It's expensive. $89 for 1/2"!
It's supposed to be +10.5db.
I wonder what the 1/4" will run. RMGI went up on their price a couple of weeks ago.

That's a plastic hub, which (I think) means its a pancake with no flanges.

Pancakes is how I used to buy all my tape. Once you are used to handling them they really aren't that bad.

I have a silly question about pancakes. How DO you transport them to a metal reel? On the deck itself in rewind mode?
Thanks,

The easiest way is to set up the pancake and the empty reel on the deck and record whatever you wanted on the tape. Once it's done, Viola!, you have a full reel of tape! You could just ffwd/rewind the pancake onto the reel as well if you wish.

I buy a metal spool, take the flanges off and screw them onto the hub of the pancake.

That too.
But at that rate, one might as well just buy a new metal reel with tape on it.

Zonal only comes as a pancake.That too.
