 RM> SIX hours, using a T-120 VHS tape and a U.S.-spec NTSC 
     machine. And if that isn't enough, a T-160 tape will give 
     you EIGHT hours. I can hear absolutely NO difference between 
     Hi-Fi VHS audio at the 2-hour or 6-hour speed, so I see no 
     reason to use the 2-hour speed. 
 
        As long as the tape is in pristine shape there is no 
        difference. The only difference is that if there is a 
        glitch in the tape it is much more noticeable at high 
        speeds. 
 
        One thing about using your VCR as a high quality tape 
        deck is you have to get your heads cleaned, preferably by 
        a pro, quite frequently, at least once a year IMO, as the 
        sound quality seems much more sensitive to dirty heads 
        than picture quality. Problems first show up as tracking 
        errors.....
