You can get the Maxell Black Magnetite SVHS tapes from discount A/V
stores
like Best Buy for about $15 a 2-pack.  I haven't had my ADATs all that
long, 
but haven't had any trouble with these.  They came highly recommended
(many
more recommendations) then Ampex, which some people seem to have trouble
with.  Only problem is that they don't come with a sealable plastic box,
just a little
plastic slip cover.  Solution for me is to get the plastic boxes at
Sam's Club, where you can get a 24 pack of 'em for $3-4.

Hope this helps,
Greg
