You might get more longevity, or more recordings per tape, but none will give you better quality. If your current tape gives you recordings without dropout problems, stick with it - that way you won't ever find out if this rumour about dry vs wet tap lubricant is true or bunkum... |

Thanks to everyone who replied. I will stick with the Maxell tapes since I have not had issues with them yet. Thanks, Andy |
