Title: Tape Comparison Chart
Post by: Ki Choi on November 12, 2009, 05:23:25 PM

Is there a document that lists all (if possible) Quantegy/Ampex/Scotch/BASF tapes and their equivalent modern tapes?

Below is what US Recording Media listed on their Website:

RMGI tape equivalent to Quantegy/AMPEX tape.
?  Quantegy/AMPEX 456 >>>>>>>>>>RMGI SM911 or ATR Studio Master Tape
?  Quantegy/AMPEX 457 >>>>>>>>>>RMGI LPR35
?  Quantegy/AMPEX 499/GP9/3M996>>>>>>>RMGI SM900 or ATR Studio Master Tape
?  Quantegy/AMPEX 480>>>>>>>>>>>ATR Studio Master Tape

Hi Ki,
I went down this road a while back you are most likely to get quite a few different answers!!! As I did, some agree on this one and that one, but others will disagree!!! Hard to be sure!!!

Hello,

What about Maxell UD 35-90 Tapes, which were very popular (at least in Italy) in the late 80s and early 90s?

Does anybody know which tape is matching their characteristics and replacing them?

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Fabio
