[net.audio] DAK tapes - some bargain

On tapes available from DAK:
>     All their tapes have the advantage of CHEAP - they sell only in lots of 10
>and they go for about $24 for FeO and $26 for CrO2.  They save money by making
>you insert the box labels, etc.  The shells are cheap,...
(and the parent article notes a few other minor drawbacks...)

OK, around here I can buy Maxell UD XL-II cassettes (CrO2 type) for $2.19
to $2.25.  The labels are already in the box, the shells are good, and I've
NEVER had problems with one.  So why are the DAK cassettes at $2.60 a good
buy?
