I would buy none. Quantegy did not address the problem of SSS.
Hi, Kiwi,
They CLAIMED they did it while still being Ampex tape in the 1990s. I'm
not sure to what extent it was cured, but that was the claim. Have you
seen mid-to-late 90s stuff from Ampex/Quantegy go SSS? I have some late
date 456 here that was well stored at the Museum of Civilization in Ottawa
that is disappointing as a source of SSS -- I wanted it to have SSS but if
it does, it's much more minor than most SSS tapes I get for transfer.
I found them to be more trouble than anything else.
Even Pyral ?
Grin, duck, and run....
Cheers,
Richard
