OMG... Tapes...

Well, I ran out of tapes (MQ, of course) a couple of days ago and went to the (online) shop where I used to order them... and they were all out of Master tapes and have been for a while. I went looking elsewhere and to my horror I wasn't able to find a single freakin MQ tape in the whole town. Seriously, NONE. Apparently Panasonic simply stopped making 'em in favour of AMQ (that are nowhere to be found yet).

So, what am I to do now? :undecided There are PQ tapes, that I've never used, that would seem like the only possible replacement, but for some reason they're priced at $8-10 in the few shops they are sold at. That's almost double what I used to pay for MQ for the past 7 months (~$5,5). Seems stupid to pay that much for lesser quality tapes, it must be something to do with the "Professional" label on those, poo pooin ripoff.

What to do, what to do...
 
PQ tapes rock. I switched from MQ to PQ about a year ago, and have never looked back. go to evsonline.com, they'll hook you up.

Hmmmm....haven't heard anyone prefer the PQ's over the MQ's. I've been using MQ's and thinking I should switch to PQ's but so far all has been fine so I've been dragging my feet. Maybe it's just a marketing ploy...."charge more so they'll think it's better"?

I dunno....the tape thing is confusing since I have yet to find any sort of professional statement as to why MQ is better than PQ.
