Ampex rebranded themselves as Quantegy in 1995. As far as I know they didn't change the formulations when they rebranded so the problems with Quantegy tapes will be the same as with 1990's Ampex tapes (which started going sticky a while ago). If you need LP tape take a look at LPR35 from Recording The Masters - this a remake of the old BASF formulation.
