Thanks for your clarification. For example I have a commerical recorded tape by Carpenters issued by A&M records. On the label it said the following: " A&M on BASF CHROME tape 120uS EQ; please use 120uS EQ at playback ". This seems to me that when playback this tape, I should set the "Tape Select" to Chrome or Type-II and the "Eq" to 120uS. My deck has manual selectors to select tape type as well as Eq. My original question is what is the intention the tape vendors try to achieve by doing this. We know all commerical pre-recorded cassettes are high-speed duplicates ( only a very few select using realtime 1:1 recording ). Your response seems to point out that the intention is to for mobile tape machines.
I listen to the A&M tape using a NAK 670ZX deck with the tape setup follow the tape vendor ( Chrome tape with 120uS Eq ) and then follow by Chrome tape with 70uS in a home stereo setup and sound come out from the latter setup seem to sound brighter to me. I don't know why. Thanks again.
