[QUOTE="Marc Hugo, post: 997756, member: 15915"] The bass and treble responses on type II and IV while clearly audible are not really a mmajor consideration in properly done recordings. But what you say is true in terms of recording level sensitivity. The MOL and SAT levels of Metals is higher in general than all tapes with the exception of type 1s in general where the 315Hz MOL is more like type IV than type II. Indeed, a TDK AR (but not the AR-X) has a MOL315kHz maximum as good as a Sony SSMM. However, predictably, the 15kHz SAT figure is nowhere near the Sony, and bias noise is higher. So,the SAT 15kHz maxima for types ones are typically lower than type IVs. True chromes are especially delicate but the payoff is incredibly low noise floors. Once you get to the Super Ferrics such as AD-X, AR-X, XLI, XLI-S, HF-ES etc, the predictability of performance extremes are more difficult due to the use of oddball formulas such as Single Crystal Gamma particles,which are both a considerable thrill and more than the price of lunch.
