[QUOTE="davemurgtroyd, post: 1025236, member: 319227"] Commercial pre-recorded tapes are very much a lottery depending on quality of tape used and method of duplicatiom. A large majority are of low quality being on poor tape and/or early poor duplication methods. There are some medium quality on CrO2 tape and later duplication methods. There are very few almost high quality (really only lacking in highest frequency response) but only from a small number of niche studios in limited quantities and high prices (they also produce DCCs (Digital Compact Cassettes). One quick visual guide to difference between low and medium quality is to look at the colour of the recording tape itself = low quality are almost always on ferric tape which is light brown whereas medium quality are on Chrome tape which is dark grayish brown. Obviously not easily done with new packaged tapes. [/QUOTE]
