Oh 456, how I wish someone would bring you back. (The quantegy version that is, after the sticky shed issue was solved) I have quite a few reels that are of the quantegy era that exhibit no indication that they will be shedding any time soon. Even when brutalized on my Ampex transport.
And they saturate so so nice. Sm911 is pretty good tape, but I'd buy 456 again in a heartbeat if it was the same recipe from the quantegy days.
Just a lament in case some former quantegy execs are trolling messageboards trying to gauge interest before considering a re-boot. Yeah right.

I have no idea if Quantegy is actually making tape or if they are just an online store now?I tried to order some 1" from them a couple years ago and never heard anything back from them until I complained that they charged my card without delivering a product?
