Everyone Grades Tapes Different....I Feel My Scale Is Fine
Yours May Differ....My Scale Is As Follows
A+ Is A Great Tape,Little To No
Hiss
A Is A God Tape,Minimal Hiss
A- Is A Good Tape With some hiss
B+ Is A Good Tape With noticable,but not annoying Hiss
B Is Ok Tape,with Noticable Hiss
NOTE.....SoundBoards Are Graded Harder Than Audience....and A+ soundboard Will Sound
Better Than An A+ Audience. Also an a+ sbd from 1994, will be better than an a+ sbd from 1971.
