--- Dan - I never doubted the sound quality (of dynamic range) would be superior to many other magnetic/analog recording medium. I forget the figures but the spinning head as the tape passes over it gives it an effective speed of well over the fastest speed on most reel-to-reel decks. I'll take a look at a Sony (VHS) Hi-Fi deck at my parents' house - it has more controls and even has a audio volume meter for left/right.
