This is probably a subject that comes up alot on these type of boards but it is a topic that interests me alot.Has anybody ever done a professional test between these two tapes?I know back in the 1970's and 80's TDK was the benchmark tape,why i don't know but it was(Maybe TDK payed manufacturers to calibrate with there tapes,i may be wrong.But the TDK tapes i see now just look cheap compared to the Maxell's out now.Just wanted to know if anybody tested these two tapes against each other?PEACE Guys and Gals......
