Old time master tape recorded at 185 nwb/m because tape's out put was limited at that level in their time, today we used highest out put tape 499/GP9 for master in 396 nwb/m recording and the copies use RMG SM900, also in 396 nwb/m, if your machine is set for 250 nwb/m will be too hot to play with, and if your machine can be adjusted repro level then use our test tone to set to 0 db of machine's vu meter, around 4 db down from 250 nwb/m setting, then you can have the most advantage of high out put recording (dynamic range s/n ratio etc.) still we can copy in 250 nwb/m for some one who can't set repro level, but for those have pro deck should try the taste of high out put recording
happy new year to all of you
