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. |>I think have found it for video cassettes. Almost any good brand T120 VHS for |>$3.49 (quantity 1) at the discount store 1/2 block north of Laurier on Bank |>downtown. But no good audio tape selection there. |> 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.
