 He has posted since being asked to supply data but alas has failed to
 deliver the aforementioned.
 
 Check out these data I've been able to locate:
 
 Brand                    Coercivity           Retentivity
 Fuji                         120kA/m             450mT
 Pana  PQ                120kA/m             450mT
 Maxell DVME60     120kA/m             450mT
 Sony PR/EX           105kA/m             500mT
 Sony HDV              125kA/m             550mT
 Pana MQ                120kA/m             500mT
 Sony DVCAM        105kA/m             500mT
 
 My understanding is that retentivity is the more important figure.
 
 All the above data was found by googling.  I tried to find several
 references to back up each data but it was not always possible.  I did
 however come across several posts from Mr. Tapeguy reciting his mantra of PQ
 is the better tape.  The figures above would suggest otherwise at the very
 least one shouldn't overly worry about which tape brand or type one uses.
 Just treat them with respect and there shouldn't be any problems.
 
 I am going to continue to use Sony cheapos.
 
 For someone making a living out of selling tapes I am surprised that Mr.
 Tapeguy wasn't able to post tape data to support his claims.
