Good Reel-To Reel Blank RecordingTape

Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.

I'm only interested in brand new tapes...I don't need the risks associated witn new old stock tapes.

RMG SM911, RMG SM456 are good new production tapes.

Otherwise NOS, at relatively high prices, like Maxell UDXLI, UD, TDK Audua, Sony FeCr, Basf SM911, Agfa 456, Scotch 206, 207, 226, 227. All of them are high output, low noise, and do not show sticky problems, if stored with care.

Better check also your R2R and welcome to an expensive format.

I have a large cabinet of reel recordings of lp's. No reason to roll any of them except the 4 channel ones.

In my first job at a HiFi store in 1973, the demo material was all recorded on a Pioneer RtR machine from a Dual 1229 with an Audio Technica AT15 (nude Shibata) using a Mac C28 preamp.  Playback through MC2105 into our favorite speakers…ESS AMT-1 Towers. Carly Simon No Secrets, There Goes Rhymin’ Simon, Loggins and Messina Full Sail…early Telarc classical, and for the owner, some Frank Sinatra.  All sounded really good to me.  Store wired with 14 ga. Brown PVC zip cord.  Noel Lee made the scene next year!

@mitch4t ,  ATR Magnetics is the sole US manufacturer of recording tape. They even have cassettes.
