I don't know - I own plenty of commercial cassette
tapes with pre-echo on them. Some very noticeable,
others barely. How would that be explained?

If the cassette is wound tails-out on one side, it's tails-in on the
other. It's a much worse problem, too, because the backing on the cassette
is so much thinner.

Also, be sure not to confuse echo with crosstalk between the two sides,
which is easy to do when the levels are low.

God, how I hated cassettes.
