That’s not easy to answer as there is no hard and fast rule, but bear the following in mind:
Type 1 ferric is the lowest quality and will degenerate quicker than other types.
There are different quality ferric tapes, good brand names such as TDK and Maxell will be better than cheaper alternatives.
If you use a different recorder, there is every chance that the ‘heads’ will be in a different position and won’t entirely erase your original recording.
So there are two ways you can help yourself:
only use quality brand-name tapes, and don’t record over them in a different tape recorder.
….and bear in mind, each time you re-record, you will lose some quality.
Hope this helps

Appetite for Destruction $7.04 A glimpse of the future, and not because of its huge influence and umpteen million sales.
