The wide contact area between the pinch rollers and the single extra-large capstan allows for lower tape tension, about 80 g and very steady because the tape path between the capstan and the reversing roller is relatively short. In contrast the Technics single capstan system maintains exactly the same speed and pinch roller pressure on both sides of the capstan.
The relatively long distance between the two capstans over which the which the tape must stretch contributes to higher modulation noise and scrape flutter. The Technics single capstan system offered advantages over double capstan as variations in the speed of two capstans and the pressure of the two pinch rollers to maintain the desired temp tape tension makes speed and tension adjustment complex and difficult often increasing the tape tension which is not desirable. Strangely, demand and prices for them was very low in the early 2000s but that changed when they were rediscovered in 2011.
