I have four empty 10.5 inch reels waiting to be filled. Bias/EQ - as far as my ears are concerned frequencies much over 6k don't exist. Darn it.

It would be nice to use 1 mil tape, I really would like a 3600' roll. Perhaps there's some around, I'll look.

Splicit Reel Audio Products has 3600' pancakes of LPR35 for $38.95. Compares to Quantegy 457. Overall that sounds like a better tape for my machine and needs.

The link! When I copied it and checked it out it came up with information about buying ATR tape and a spec sheet for same. Now it doesn't. Who knows what happened.

  My opinion is that PYRAL LPR-35 is closer to Maxell XLI or Quantegy 407 instead of 457. The top level Quantegy is kind of unique in terms of biasing which can make it hard to work with on some decks. Whereas the other tapes should be drop in ready. Plus the PYRAL tape is comparatively thin compared to the others.
