what is the best cassette tape maker in your experience?


what is the best cassette tape maker in your experience? 

if you saw my last thread, i said my personal favorites were TDK and Fuji, but what are the best in your experience?



and also, do you think a cheap type 1 cassette tape sounds that much worse than a more expensive type 1?

by cheap i don't necessarily mean quality, just the inexpensive kind you would find in a K-mart or 7-11 back in the day.

some of these names might ring a bell - Tonemaster, Top Crest, Onn, Zenith, Scotch, 3M

hey but if youre a fan of some of the "cheap" cassettes i listed, dont get mad. I was just reeling off some makers other than the more popular makers.

TDK was my “go to” brand back when I owned a good cassette deck. I used the Metal tapes for my best recordings and the tape just under them for my everyday use.  That’s 40-50 years ago for me. I later got into DAT recorders, and I had the original Sony ES model.  In 1990, it was around a grand.  It became a boat anchor some 20 years later.
