where to buy new blank quality cassette tapes?


I'm sure this has been discussed in the past year or two, so please point me to any threads -- haven't been able to find anything with audiogon's forum search. Some of us still have perfectly functional high-end cassette decks that make great recordings and are more flexible (and arguably higher-rez & better-sounding than a CD recorder). But they need better cassettes than a Maxell UR to sound their best.

I'm certain I haven't looked everywhere, but it seems the closest I can come is Maxell still making UD-XLII, which is a 35 year old tape formulation. Anybody manufacturing and selling high-quality metal tape, or at least the last best type II cassettes??

This is what you might do like I did. Go find a small town 15-30k and see if there any old style music stores. You just might find a treasure chest like I did. TDK MA's, SA-XG's, SA_X's Sony SR's plus other various. I found 300 plus!! It was a find of a lifetime. So if you want, try a little hunting. Hope this helps. Mike
