Streetly can make minor adjustments during the tape production
process to suit the MK VI azimuth. New Streetly tapes / frames work
very well in a MK VI! At TrontoII we tried a standard Streetly M400
frame in a MK VI. On one of the tracks (Fairlight voice, with lots
of high frequency content), we noticed that a few notes were not
quite as crisp as the others. NOT a big issue to my tin ears!

I haven't heard of any problems using MK VI tapes / frames in M400's.
It seems to me that Mellotron Archives supply these to M400 owners
regularly.
