RE: Why?...

With my Otari decks I find that the SQ differences between IEC and NAB tend to be quite marked. There are more IEC tapes in my 15/2 collection but there are quite a few NAB tapes too.

I've got my main deck wired for direct tape head output, into Kara Chaffee's deHavilland 222 tubed tape head preamp and this seems to increase rather than reduce the IEC/NAB SQ differences I hear.
