Sony DG60P and DG90P ....and yes I know the party line on these dats, but I have not had a problem in 3 years, with a deck I bought used that had run them for about 2 before that.  I also know plenty of people that have not had a problem.  With that being said, I understand theoretically why it would cause issues, but I am not convinced it happens in all cases...and if it does, I will get my deck fixed...will have been worth it to be able to run a 3 hour show and not have to swap tapes...

The best DAT tape always seems to go by the wayside. My all time favorite is Fuji. Once Fuji got out of the business it became impossible to get the 60 or 90 metre tapes. However, Cassette House's "house" brand is Fuji, now if I could only get them down in price a bit.

then we can get into a debate about how some people think they wear the heads faster, im not sure what side to believe so i just stick with 60's and an occasional 90 if i must do it, but i try not too, .02
