[net.audio] cassette info wanted

nrv@ulysses.UUCP (N. Richard Venditto) (07/03/84)

On a rather mundane note, I am interested in purchasing a cassette recorder
in the $200 - $250 range.  Primarily I will be using it to record music and
other noise for listening to in my car.  I am concerned with wow and flutter
(which is the only thing I know for sure that my ears can detect - I have not
fully field tested my ears), and I am also concerned with head life (recording
not my).  I also like to hear high notes once in a while.  So I should spend
more, right?  Does anyone out there have any ideas.  Perhaps someone could
point me to a particular issue of Audio or Stereo Review dealing with the lower
end of cassette decks.  I have read a few articles in some old issues but they
primarily dealt with more expensive equipment.  I am basically a neophyte in
this area.  "But that doesn't make him a bad person."
