Re: tape transferring

Well, to continue the analogy, if your enthusiasm actually wore out her you-know-what every time you participated, I'm sure you'd take more care.

That's the situation we're in with a lot of tape masters - to play them is to actually find the oxide dropping off the tape, leaving the master in a worse state than before. So in my case, the older reel-to-reels get played when they're getting transferred, and at no other time.
