I agree, actually. When I jumped on the Ampex 456 bandwagon in 1978, a couple of professionals recommended Agfa PEM 468. I'm kicking myself for not listening to them. Especially, since that "stockpile" of 206 from the early '70s did not exist.

Agfa was the only tape the would leave a perfectly flat pack even at high speed rewind. And it sounded excellent, better than any American tape, if you tweaked your machine for it. 468/469 forever! <L> Lou Judson Intuitive Audio 415-883-2689 On Dec 7, 2016, at 6:38 AM, Gary A.
