Is there a clearly defined reason for this shedding, something which is known for sure? I ask, cause theories abound, from worn out tape paths due to ampex / quantegy, to insufficient dry time. Not everyone agrees. Is there a consensus?
Daniel, I’m not sure that it’s been nailed down to one cause. I have never accepted the tape-width reasoning as the only cause, because RMGI was/is replacing the “defective” tape with new tape of the same width. That would be an exercise in futility if it were only a tape-width issue. Also, I keep hearing reports from users that say they don’t have tape path wear issues. It doesn’t seem to be epidemic, but certainly a pain for the people it strikes.
