Looking at the specs of my TEAC A3340s RTR, it supports 7 1/2 and 15ips speeds. Do you guys usually record at the 7.5 speed or the 15? Naturally the 15 speed will yield better quality but at reduced recording time. According to a chart I looked at, 2500' of tape will yield about 30 mins at the 7.5 and around 60 mins on the 15 each side.
As for cassette decks that support dual speeds like the Tascam 122B, it has a switch for high and low speed. Low speed I know is the standard 1 7/8 while high I believe is 3 3/4. Is it common to simply record at the lower speed, or would the sound quality be improved using the 3 3/4 speed?
I definitely enjoy high quality sound, but looks like I may have to invest in more blank reel tape if I go that route!
