as I'm able to record over and rebias old tapes that I have in my collections, which were dated back to early 80's. Most of the cassettes that I use were by Maxell UD XL II and TDK SA Type II brands. And as far as I'm concerned these two brands hold their end very well compared to the other cassette tape brands such as JVC, Memorex, BASF just to name a few that I have in my collections.
Mind you I'm using the Revox B215 machine, so perhaps that has something to do with those tapes astounding longevity.
