Yes!! The Sony UX-Pros have to be the best tape that I have found. I mean, these days we hardly have requests for cassettes anymore, but we ocassionally still do get them and it wasn't that long ago that was what most folks tended to want to send out.
Normal bias tape always sounded more natural to me, but who could deal with all the hiss? TDK and Maxell both put out CrO2 tapes that were decent enough, but no matter how you hit them, they always colored the sound. I guess you just accepted it because they played back much quieter than a program recorded on the normal bias tape stock. Metal tapes only sounded good when played back on the machine that they were recorded on, and even then only on certain days of the week, if you were lucky enough to have the planets properly aligned!
When we got hold of the UX-Pros, we finally found a tape that not only played back a sound resembling anything like was recorded to it, but also was consistant from copy to copy.
We had heard that these tapes were no longer being made, so we went and bought out the entire remaining stock!
