What is everyone's preferred U.S. source of new tape?

Post by kslight » Mon Sep 05, 2011 10:08 am

Any insight on the store with the best deals/service for RMG tape? I specifically want to order 1" RMG SM911 and 1/4" on a 7" reel 1800' RMG LPR35, from the same store, from the United States. I don't have the money to buy a case of either, likely just a couple reels at this time. Full Compass looks like the best price for someone that has both in stock without a case minimum...just wanted to check to see if anyone knew any better before ordering.

Thanks

Full Compass for new RMGI tape. www.usrecordingmedia.com is OK but prices are consistently better at Full Compass.

I've had good luck with us Recording Media as well. I'll check Full Compass after reading that.

I've ordered from US Recording Media although now I go direct to ATR. If you already have the reels, ordering the "pancakes" of tape is awesome. Too bad you can't do that with 2" tape! :-)

I use ATR mainly. (love it!!) I also use RMG tape but only for home stereo stuff.
