Re: arsclist Duplicating casette tapes

["Richard L. Hess" <arclists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you'll get better results doing real-time duplication (or 2x at
the most) in a Sony or perhaps Kenwood (I'm not sure of their current
models, I have a good older model) or Teac dual-well deck.

However, you might also consider copying them to CD-R rather than other
cassettes.

I use a Nakamichi Dragon for cassette playback and a pair of Sony CDRW33
machines for recording. That will extract as much quality as you can hope
for.

Is it best to purchase a dual cassette deck such as a Sony or RCA, etc. or are there decks that are best for duplicating tapes that are not manufactured to be part of a stereo system? I would appreciate any advice on this subject.
