Inches per second across a tape head , is like frame rate on a video..5 ips is 24 fps...7 ips is 30 fps.. 10 ips is 60 frames a second..etc. and so fourth..it's a graphical construct. Based on science.. Why do you want to do that?
I don’t need an explanation of what ips is on a tape machine. I’m asking @jdragonash what they’re hoping to accomplish by increasing the transport speed, and then I want to talk through how it is likely they won’t get the result the anticipate and why.Inches per second across a tape head , is like frame rate on a video..5 ips is 24 fps...7 ips is 30 fps.. 10 ips is 60 frames a second..etc. and so fourth..it's a graphical construct.

My monitors can do like 30 frames a second.
High pass filter wouldn’t help…would make it worse I think. A primary problem would be loss of LF content, so a HPF would only exacerbate the issue.Yes, @sweetbeats , my motivation for seeing if that could be done was to see if it would result in better fidelity. Yes, what you're saying makes a lot of sense. The response curve shift , let's say something that would benefit from a high pass filter. I don't really use it for tracking, mostly go sub in from mics on acoustic percussion stuff like shakers, tambourines, hand drums, etc. and backing vocals. But it doesn't seem worth it for the reasons you mentioned. Thanks for the reply.
