Does anybody know anything about the new Maxell XL-I and XL-II
cassette tapes?  If you have a sample of these, take a look at
the box.  Until I saw these tapes, all Maxell tapes carried a
lifetime guarantee.  There is no such warranty on the boxes of
my samples.  At a recent tape deck clinic sponsored by Maxell
and a local stereo store, the factory rep told me that these
were of a slightly different formulation than the UDXL-I and II.
I really can't tell much of a difference in using these tapes.
A guy at Hi-Fi Buys said that these tapes were just an upgraded
version of the UDXL series. But what happened to the guarantee?

Also, does anybody have Maxell's address? I'll write them about
this issue if nobody can come up with a satisfactory explanation.
