The whole thread amazed me. If you are buying audio cassettes, do you go
out and by TDK, or do you go down the local market and get five tapes
for a pound and then wonder why the sound quality is shite ?

I still maintain, that if you want to be reasonably sure of getting good
quality results, pay the extra and buy branded media. It stands to
reason that 'gambling' on the unbranded route is fraught with potential
headaches - for a difference of 20p a disk (maximum) is it worth the
time and trouble of buying what may be crap ?
