No degradation as far as I can hear. What did you think of the samples
I posted? Did you hear any there?

Six track tape = five sounds, not five tracks, thus:

Sound 1 = Selector A = Tracks 1 + 2
Sound 2 = Selector A+B = Tracks 2 + 3
Sound 3 = Selector B = Tracks 3 + 4
Sound 4 = Selector B+C = Tracks 4 + 5
Sound 5 = Selector C = Tracks 5 + 6
