The lighter brown tape will usually sound worst. Cheap Ferric Oxide tape. The darker tape, will be a Chromium Dioxide tape, or pseudo Chrome Tape that uses the chrome, not ferric record bias. A good tape, in a good recorder can give a very good sound. I've not found anything to replace my tape deck, for what I use it for. Mike.
Oh....so this is really just about cassette tape......not tape in general.
That's what I figured when he showed a picture of a bunch of cassette tapes.
One day, a tape will be judged by the contents of it character and not the color of its skin!
Cheers!
