Found the Maxell tape to be excellent. The TDK tape very fine as well. Most of my LP to tape transfer done with the Maxell brand. Loads of fun. That being said. Apachef1 comments makes a lot of sense.
For myself having a R2R was the most fun of all my gear. It was a great joy. And this hobby is not always about what makes the most sense. I have not used mine in some time and finally will seek to sale my Teac X-10. So if you are in the market for one or two overpriced questionably stored nib 10 inch reel tapes email me.
By the by the Pioneer is a sweet deck. Nothing beats a R2R for the joy.
