I learned the hard way that using the original cassette deck (note this
does NOT mean one of the same make and model!) is a necessity. I had
two cassette decks, and they had about a 5% speed difference...which
was VERY audible if I played a tape recorded on machine #1 using
machine #2! I don't know if top-end cassette machines are specifically
set up to run at a single fixed speed...but ordinary consumer-grade
machines most certainly do NOT!
