That was just an experiment, and to make sure it wasn't a waste, I down-loaded it to hard-drive; those were my most select LP's.As you know, new tape can be recorded over at least once with no ill effects; consequently, I'm regarding that as blank...

I just down-loaded 4 of the 15 IPS reels that I had recorded to my hard-drive. They really sound good on play back, and I don't have to get up and put another reel on.

For the last few days, I have been listening exclusively to the reel with tapes recorded at 7.5, and they sound just fine.I've got some new tape ordered, and when it arrives, I'll record at 7.5. Regardless how good 15 IPS sounds, the time is half...
