High frequency loss

141.149.84.124

Dave,

Headware will result most noticeably in loss of high frequencies. Because it happens slowly over a long period of time, you might not even notice it till it becomes severe.

A reproduce test tape and meter will show up a problem in a second - assuming you measured the response when the deck was new - or trust the original specifications.

Relapping may restore the highs - depends on the head.

The headware pattern can also head mis-alignment.
