As a result it is wearing off the oxides and guess where they are all accumulating? On the heads right. So, not only does it where the tapes out faster, it wheres the head out faster and the head needs to be cleaned more often. Actually one of my decks has it and I actually like the feature, but I cringe everytime I use it. Tom Morrissey hplabs!hpfcla!thom
