First, I will check with MRL, Inc. for advice on accuracy of the
alignment but I don't use the tapes for under 1K. As Scot mentions,
fringing is mainly a problem at the low end. The heads are supposed to
be 'hotter', so that isn't an issue. In fact, I can live with the
levels. I am able to get a good +6 on repro. Sync only gets down to a
+5 on a couple of tracks and is weak on bass, but I don't mind.

Oh yes, and what tape are you using? Have you considered trying a lower
bias tape?
