More problems with Maxell than TDK?

72.226.150.222

Does anyone else have more problems with Maxell cassette's than TDK or is it just me?Everytime i purchase or win older Maxell cassettes (1985-1990) off ebay the tapes record like S@#T!!And these are NOS still in the wrapper tapes.I have never once yet gotten burned with a TDK purchase off ebay,and i have won some TDK SA and SA-X tapes that go back as early as 1980 that record fine.I just received 16 1985 NOS Maxell XLII-S 90's and they all record horrible,they are all muffled with no high end.No matter how i bias them there is no treble response.Do Maxell cassette's not stand the test of time or what?Starting to get dissapointed with Maxell quality.Peace to all,Ronny..
