I've seen this term being thrown here quite often, but still haven't been able to figure out what exactly defied an "nth generation" tape. Is it a tape that's been copied over and over with visible generation loss? Would a tape with my recorded commercials qualify as one? It was recorded straight from the TV, not dubbed from another tape.
I'm asking mainly because I was able to find myself a Kramer FC-400 TBC which, according to the pinned FAQ thread, performs badly with nth gen. (And if anyone would like to request a test with the said TBC, feel free to do so, since activity surrounding that particular unit here is quite scarce)
