Re: [AV Media Matters] Re-Evaluating Tape Mastering Stock

[lists.rlhess@mindspring.com]

Does this apply to cassette stock?

While I don't have a large collection of cassettes, the Maxell XL
and XL II tapes I've had since the mid '70's still play well. I do
have some original recordings on these that I haven't yet had
time/budget to transfer.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Richard
