See 14.22. Just as cassette tape recorders are set up specifically for one type of tape, reel-to-reel tape recorders are equalized and biased so that they are best with one specific brand and model of tape. Just as more expensive cassette tapes will last longer and have less noise than cheaper ones, you can expect fewer dropouts, better quality control, and lower noise from more expensive reel-to-reel tapes. The major brands in reel-to-reel tape include Ampex, Scotch (3M), AGFA/BASF, and Maxell.
