In Reply to: any chance a cassette deck could've been damaged by a particular brand/model of tape(s)? posted by Damián on February 2, 2006 at 07:33:17:
I`ll chime in here cause i dont see nobody else doing it. NO... i dont believe a tape can do damage to a head unless the cotton padding came off the bridge. direct center of the exposed tape is a bridge with a cotton or fiber pad. on even brand new tapes if they are old stock the padding glue can deteriorate and send the pad off the bridge, even then i dont think it will cause damage but the playback will sound like crap. i`m baffled as much as you ,especially when it happens to two identical decks. tape manufactures are aware of things like that that may leave them liable for damaging a tape deck so i cant imagine its anything to do with the tape. let it sit for a couple weeks and see if its back to normal. i really dont like to demagnatize very often on older decks. its always a very last resort. allot of folks go way to happy with the demagnatizers. its not that nessisary unless your in a recording studio doing recording daily. thats just "my" thought i might be wrong, i might be right. but i really dont care. good luck.
