RE: Can I?

"If this preamp has a tape input, (and it most certainly does), then at 7.5 IPS it should be fine as is."

IF the tape being played was recorded according to the NAB standard, it will work, within whatever accuracy Leak achieved. OTOH, the tapes sold by "The Tape Project" are recorded using a different curve, that may very well have technical advantages over the many decades old NAB curve.

You will have to modify the preamp to use media purchased from "The Tape Project", even if the tape speed is 7.5 IPS.

BTW, tape deck playback head impedance matters, very much, too.
