RE: Can I?

Dave,

Tape head has equalization. It's the NAB, as opposed to RIAA, curve. "Vintage" equipment with that option works with a deck running at 7.5 IPS. The EQ poles change, when the tape speed drops to 3.75 IPS and 1.875 IPS (as found in cassette decks).

Also, pre-recorded media from "The Tape Project" uses a modernized EQ curve, different from the NAB curve.
