(1) The (acoustic) guitarist's name is MICHAEL Hedges, not David. (2) I left out some X's and D's and stuff when reporting the tape formulations. The tapes I used were: BASF Chromdioxid Maxima II, TDK SA, Maxell XLII-S, and Memorex MRX^3. The advertising hype claims that Chromdioxid Maxima II and XLII-S are infinitely better than their respective older formulations Chromdioxid II and UDXLII. I tested an old UDXLII against the XLII-S (this time recording a track from a direct-to-disk album by the percussion group Nexus) and couldn't detect a difference. Eugene Fiume U of Toronto
