The manufacturer (Akai) recommends all the major brands of tape. Next to the TDK SA there is a note that this is a reference tape. Does this mean this is the best tape? It's a bit confusing since the TDK tapes say reference on the box. Friends around here use the Maxell XLII. I'll be recording a mixture of rock, folk, and classical, and probably using dbx. Any advice would be appreciated.
