Joe brings up an issue that I never addressed on this Listserve and that is
headwear.
Anytime that you change to a radically different tape, the video heads will
recontour to the new tape. Another word for "recontouring" is wear. If you
stay with tapes of the same compliance, any recontouring will be minimal.
BUT, if you change to a tape with a different particle or a different
thickness, you WILL have headwear.
Also, brand new tapes are very abrasive the first couple of passes.
