equivalents to 456?
I believe the equivalent to 456 in RMG's world is 911,
What is the equivalent to 456 in ATR?
and (sad face)...my email to quategy.com bounced.

ATR tape is not a 456 equivalent. 456 is +6 tape, ATR is +9. if you're machine can handle the higher levels, you can probably get better noise performance from the ATR. But you can totally get away with running +9 tape at lower (+6) levels, you just probably won't get all the benefits. it will also have different bias needs, although I think ATR claims their tape is especially tolerant of different bias levels.
for what it's worth, I prefer RMG 911

This place is in Melbourne Australia CATS that I have ordered tape cassettes from over the phone and had no issues. It seems they have RMGI 1/2" in stock. They have an international number on the website. But I live in Melbourne so I do not know what the shipping costs are.

National Recording Supplies are the best. And they'll still deliver next day or even same day if you need it within NYC. http://www.tapes.com

I have been told that the formulation ATR makes is actually even higher than +9. +12 or something, I gotta check my sources...but the point is that it in no way resembles 456 whatsoever. Its good stuff, but I doubt there's a "stock" machine out there that can saturate it.
SM911 is probably where its at if you were using 456.
