Can't say I've ever seem Chrome reel-to-reel tape. Chrome tape was introduced (I assume) to deal with the limitations of, and improve the quality of the cassette system, that ran at a much lower tape speed of 1 7/8ips. Reel to Reel running at 3 3/4ips and above is much better quality and would not need Chrome tape?
