I love TDK tapes especially SA-X but i am hearing alot of horror stories about them at places like Naks.com and audioasylum.com about them stretching and breaking and shedding there oxide and generally losing there information early on in there life,they say maxell is better and last longer.Personally i have never experienced any of these problems with TDK and i have some SA tapes going back to 1977-78 that still work fine.Has anyone else here ever heard of these problems with TDK or are these folks just talking about tapes that just were'nt stored properly?Thanks and Happy New Year,Keith...
