I had a JVC portable (sort of an audiophile boombox with built in
speaker) deck for years that featured ANRS (I believe it stood either
for Automatic [or Audio] Noise Reduction System) and SUPER ANRS.
Unfortunately, one has to say, many of my cassettes outlived the deck
which died sometime in the late seventies or early eighties. They are
still playable and don't sound too bad, but I do wonder how what I am
hearing differs from what it would sound like on an ANRS machine.
Anyone else remember this noise reduction format (or the machines that
used it, for that matter)? Anyone know how to simulate it?
