Thank you, well then
I'll revert to the metallics in the description for the possibility of both Japanese and Luxembourg tapes.
Maybe there is some secret about the tape hidden in the third character of the number we still have as an unknown item.
The last generation came out weaker to me as well, on my Akai the MA 90 1992 version had a MOL of +6db and a bias of 0, that bias is also correctly prescribed by the factory for the Akai DX-57
TDK MA 90 1998 had MOL +4db, bias 0, the sound was not bad, but it's something else and weaker.
The Japanese TDK DJ metal 1996 and 1997 tapes, also MAex have similar results on Akai as MA 1998 for Europe. My values are very subjective, but definitely these tapes have in common the complete lack of white powder so far.
By the way, I have currently added the powder and degradation option for all TDK metallics.
