I guess that means they like it enough.

I'm curious as to what kind of tape EA records with. I've been using Quantegy GP9 with good results, but it's getting hard to find virgin GP9 at a decent price, so I've been thinking of switching to something else. What kind of tape would you guys recommend? What do you think of ATR?

yeah GP9 was our go-to for a while, but ATR is pretty solid.

456 is okay. I still like GP9 better.

I understand that some people had some shedding problems when the formulation first came out. As far as I know those problems were few and have been solved for a long time.I like the tone of RMGI on our Stellavox, Studer and Nagra recorders.We really know tape here and we really like RMGI.Seems that there are some folks in the Tech Room who disagree with you: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=42626

GP9 when I can. Usually out-of-house stuff to 2. 456 here at home for 1/2.
