With regard to my last message on the relative equivalence of several
tapes, I thought I'd submit a couple of corrections.
(1) The (acoustic) guitarist's name is MICHAEL Hedges, not David.
(2) I left out some X's and D's and stuff when reporting the tape
formulations. The tapes I used were: BASF Chromdioxid Maxima II,
TDK SA, Maxell XLII-S, and Memorex MRX^3. The advertising hype
claims that Chromdioxid Maxima II and XLII-S are infinitely better
than their respective older formulations Chromdioxid II and UDXLII.
I tested an old UDXLII against the XLII-S (this time recording a
track from a direct-to-disk album by the percussion group Nexus)
and couldn't detect a difference.
