So from all the positive feedback regarding SR decks I'm not hearing a resounding agreement of the facilities claim the "Everybody" knows a certain percentage of SR stock will be bad. Of course there will always be a few bad tapes but just like my coworker who spent 6 managing a dubbing facility and only had roughly 5 actually damaged SR tapes it seems like those that have responded haven't had SR Tape issues anything like the facility is claiming. Now can anyone confirm that their tape distributors actually refuse to warranty SR stock and require the customer to deal directly with Sony in cases of bad tape? That is what I was told but I've never heard of that before either. I'm curious if that is the current common practice with distributors of SR tape.
