Hi everyone. I just got one of these recorders and have been told it is tensioned to accept Quantegy 457 (1 mm base) tape and that using 456 will damage the heads. I found an equivalent to 457 and am buying it today. My question is will using 456 (or any other 2 mm base tape) do immediate damage to the heads? I'd like to use the recorder until the other tape gets here but certainly don't want to be reckless. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thx. Shawn
