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

I've always thought of those low end tapes as pretty much junk.  I tried a few, but never had any luck.  Major dropouts, crinkled tape in the middle, rewinding and having the tape break off the spool, etc.

Anyone remember DAK tapes?  Probably the worst ever.

I bought many cassettes this year, all of them are still sealed.
My best is this TDK and I think it was the best TDK ever made!

No I never bought cheap tapes as I plan to keep them and didn't want to lose material.
