TDK was my “go to” brand back when I owned a good cassette deck. I used the Metal tapes for my best recordings and the tape just under them for my everyday use. That’s 40-50 years ago for me. I later got into DAT recorders, and I had the original Sony ES model. In 1990, it was around a grand. It became a boat anchor some 20 years later.
what is the best cassette tape maker in your experience?

if you saw my last thread, i said my personal favorites were TDK and Fuji, but what are the best in your experience?
and also, do you think a cheap type 1 cassette tape sounds that much worse than a more expensive type 1?
by cheap i don't necessarily mean quality, just the inexpensive kind you would find in a K-mart or 7-11 back in the day.
some of these names might ring a bell - Tonemaster, Top Crest, Onn, Zenith, Scotch, 3M
