I don't think it really matters.. I've used Sony, Quantegy and plenty of other brands... they all seem to work fine.

you can find them locally at pro-audio stores... maybe even guitar center, but enter at your own risk! GC employees make RatShack employees look good...

no good audio shops or chains close by, this is gonna have to be at an online retailer, thanks for the info so far.

just buy them from your regular tape retailer...

I'd be shocked to find out that there was a difference... but who knows?

Might be able to find one at your local computer supply store, too - they make ones for cleaning DDS drives that should work just fine.
