In Reply to: Best blank VHS tapes TDK or Maxell? posted by Keith H on April 19, 2001 at 23:06:19:
... it is hard to make recommendations because they keep changing them. I have some near 20 year old Maxells still recording well but that is not to say the latest Maxells are the same. I suspect the "superior" quality tapes of today equate more to the standard ones of yesteryear as, to meet firce competition, cheaper lines at lower prices are released.Contrary to what our resident cynic Rich states, there are obvious visual differences in brands. We use a projector on a large screen and this shows up differences in tape quality as well as deficiencies in broadcast program quality. We make some very good quality efforts from digital satellite transmissions (PAL remember) on Panasonic/National recorders and many are superior to NTSC laserdiscs played by a Theta Data III.
The worst run I have had has been with BASF. Their 5 hour tapes did not last long and their 3 hour versions have all gone from our shelves also.
Bottom line, buy good quality lines of either brand and you will not go wrong. We use both.
