Same thing--good stuff still!!

Has RMGI worked out the shedding issues?

[Joao B.]

no shedding here, using RMGi911.

I've had bad tapes from both ATR and RMGI. Both companies handled the problems responsibly. I used BASF for a long time (pre-RMGI) and aside from a couple bad batches, I haven't noticed a difference. I especially liked the 911 more than the Quantegy products on transports that weren't exactly up to snuff as it seemed really forgiving.

In any case, the quality of tape (wear, formula stability, etc...) is really better than has ever been before. You don't get the same coloration that you would enjoy from 456 but you can get a similar sound by not using modern machines. It's funny how all the characteristics that we wanted tape not to exhibit in the nineties has come to be the defining value of the media.

ATR is my current favorite.

rmgi is great. they'll replace defective tape with working tape.
