Any reputable brand will work fine. The trick is not to mix recording tapes because of the differing lubricants, which may gum up on the heads.

I use Sony tapes also, on my XL1s's, but the cleaning tape is JVC.

Good luck, Mike

hello mike,

that's exactly why i am so confused. been reading about different tape thickness, lubrication and what not.
thanks for your help
