pre-recording speed vs. playing speed...........
« on: June 16, 2009, 10:41:21 PM »
I see many pre-recorded r2r at 3.75 or 7.5 ips.

If I play them at higher speed than recorded, would it improve the sound quality?

Only if the recordings are of "Alvin and the Chipmunks". :-)

Seriously, if you double the playback speed you double the frequency of the recorded material. 

In other words, to increase quality you must use the higher tape speed when you first record the signal - and then play it back at the identical speed.
