For Audio Cassettes I go to the Sony Store (third floor Rideau Center). The
Sony UX 60's and  90's make an excellent tape. The price for a 60 is
1.99 for 1 or 17.90 a box of 10. The 90's are 2.49 each or 22.90 for 10.
I have used the Maxell XLII's and they yield about the same quality. 
If I had to choose one over the other I would choose the Sony tapes. They
have a new line that is just up from the UX's that are made for CD recordings
are are about $2 more.

For video's back at the Sony store again. They have the Sony ED 120's for
2.99 each which make excellent tapes for repeated recording. I don't know
the box price. 

			Funny what you can find out there.
