[net.audio] Need info on rugged 120min cas. tapes

mcferrin (01/03/83)

Can anyone recommend a rugged 120min cassette tape for my particular use.
I am responsible for duplicating tapes for our Church using a Pentagon
tape duplicator which duplicates at 16 times its normal speed.  I am not
looking for superior fidelity but tapes that can handle some abuse
at this duplication speed.  To date, the Radio Shack Low-Noise tape
which sells for 2.29 (in 48 quanaty) appears to work with 1 out of 24 tapes
causing a jam.  Again the tapes must have low friction within the plastic
housing and can handle the start/stops at 30 ips.
Any experience would be appreciated.
