i'm curious as to what the rest of you are using for tape brands on a regular
basis. this includes
	- mastering
	- archiving
	- personal 

I have a good source for ampex pancake and maxell UDXL and have been using
the latter with nice results on my reVox.

I also have a reel of reVox 641 (gift) that i am saving for a special 
mastering (gosh, it's pricey).

because essentially all machines can be biased for any tape, we will
ignore that issue, (although that still leaves room for preferences of
'X tape on A machine, but never on B machine'.)
