A basic question about reel to reel machines

2008-02-03 by ceccles_ca

I've had experience with R-R machines that are 1/4 inch tape with
stereo quarter track heads (flip the tape over).  Half track machines
are uncommon.  I've heard that half track provides better sound quality.

What's the downside of half track?
