Opinions on New Reel to Reel Tapes


I just aquired a reel to reel and welcome opinions on what type of quality 7" tape to use.

I used to use Maxell UD 35-90B to good effect. These tapes were "back-coated" which I thought were much better than their standard version. (Allowed less saturation) In my personal experimentation many years ago w/Teac deck I found
the TDK GX 35/90B was slightly better than the others. I would buy "back-coated" tapes, whichever brand you decide to buy. What R/R did you buy and are you using a DBX noise-reduction unit? Bill
