Good morning.

My TASCAM 34B is biased for Quantegy 456. Is it ok to use Quantegy 406/407
as well ? Quantegy lit says that the 406/407 is "bias compatible" with the
456. Is it safe to say then, that the 34B is biased for the 456, 406 and 407
?

On a related note, I've read that the higher grade tapes (GP9, 456 etc) wear
the heads faster (speed and all things being equal) than say lesser grade
tapes like the 406/407 ... Would this be accurate and if yes, why ?

Thank you for your time,

Daniel
