Pretap,

I have yet to have any problems with the DDS tapes (on an old Sony 
TCD-D10 Pro Mark I deck) unique to that particular grade. From my 
understanding, they are usually made in the same factories as the 
regular tapes, although it may depend upon the brand. Used tapes-- "one 
pass"-- may have more chance of gooping up your deck with residual dust 
from the coating.

Also with longer-- or perhaps any tapes in general, always fast forward 
completely and rewind before you record on them to insure that they are 
evenly spooled, giving you potentially less chance of transport problems 
and errors in your recordings.

Best Regards,

Jeff Daub
