Not much posting lately
I guess we've all been using our 'Penis Enlargement' spam seriously.
I don't need it any bigger, but I would like to train it to mow the lawn. winnard |

I have been trying out some different carts at work though, but none of them have really grabbed me. I am getting a hankering to try recording some CDs to cart again. Has anyone ever used the Ampex Gold tapes? Any better than TDKs? Danno -- Daniel and Kathy Gibson http://www.katestrackshack.com "Kate's Track Shack -Your Internet Home For Inexpensive 8-tracks!!"

My experience with _all_ Ampex tapes - 8 track or reel with the possible exception of 456 (Grand Master) has been negative. Rough, unburnished oxide and lousy lubrication. The TDKs and Maxells are waaaaay better. Just my opinion, I could be wrong. Happy trails, Larry B. |

Danno my experiance the the last runs of the ampex tapes were dissapointing, especially after time has passed. however, the earlier ampex tapes (391, AT45, 90, e.t.c) performed very well, even to this day. i prefer to use those more than any other tape (besides scotch) No! My experience with _all_ Ampex tapes - 8 track or reel with the possible exception of 456 (Grand Master) has been negative. Rough, unburnished oxide and lousy lubrication. The TDKs and Maxells are waaaaay better. Just my opinion, I could be wrong. if you have a reel of tape branded as "ampex" 456 grand master tape that is still good & hasent surcummed to the "sticky tape" syndrom, you are very lucky or you have kept the tape in a cool dry place for all of it's life. however, that will change once the tape is exposed to humid conditions. this also applied to ampex 406, 407, & all of the other backcoated tapes that ampex made during the late 70's up through the eighties. this also included radio shack concerttape as well. early quantegy (ampex's predicessor) tapes were also affected. now, regarding TDK & Maxell 8 track cartridges. my experiance with those was identically the same, both TDK & maxell must have used the very same formulation & manufacturing methods for both of them. when they were fresh, they did a outstanding job of reproducing & had a wide dynamic range, however, age was one of the flaws of the tape. the tapes lubricant dried out too early & binding up was a common problem for both. i also noticed that the tape would "curl", like the old mylar tape from the 50's & early 60's era. -- John |
