Re: Chrome Reel to Reel Tape?
In general Chrome tape was significantly more abrasive than standard types, this would have been much more of a problem with reel to reel machines running at 2, 4 or 8 times the the speed of cassettes.
As mentioned above, the higher tape speeds made the higher performance of Chrome less attractive when weighed against much greater head wear as well as requiring non compatible equalisation standards.
