And we used the use the Super Avalyn [SA] tapes for dubs of masters
for clients to listen to before continuing on.
For standard cassettes we had a duplication house next to us load
cassettes with Agfa - which was also very good for standard run
tapes.
The only weirdness we found was with the sound of the Nakamichi
that were used at times. And then we found the original Naks
used the original spec for EQ curves, while everyone else used a
modified curve as it was cheaper and easier to do.
Then we found out there was a Nak with a 'B' curve - that matched
the industry standard but not the sepcifications.
And speaking of Maxell. At one time a client came in with a
16-track master that was on a 2" rell of Maxell. It was the only
time I'd seen Maxell in a 'pro' format.
