Now this probably means nothing to you, but the compression characteristics of ATR tape are very nice if hit with elevated levels. As far as NOS tape is concerned, I would stay away from 456 - lots of fun recording rock with it, but too noisy for your purposes. My favorite has to be 3M 996 - probably the best tape ever made, but alas it's age is starting to show in the reliability department.

Kats...Thanks! What are your thoughts on SM900? We have good RMGI representation here in Melbourne Australia & it is easy to get NIB RMGI stock. I'm not sure how easy it is going to be to get my hands on ATR tape stock? Perhaps you know more about shipping outside of USA or local distribution channel through Mike Spitz?
TTP & Opus3 software master transfers are onto SM468. Is SM468 drop in compatible with SM911 or do I have to recalibrate? I heard the BIAS is close.
