Default Tascam 122B and 234 tape machines at 3.75 IPS- any good ?

I have spoken to
guys that bought them new, many still love the machines
and won't sell them- they have 25 hz-20khz bandwidth
(according to what is in this guy's owner manual) -


You really believe that crap?

25-20 KHz at what level and with how many dBs tolerance? If you can't
provide those two key addiational parameters, you're talking marketing crap,
not technology.

basically CD quality


Can't happen. It takes more then 15 ips half track to get true CD quality.

but analog cassette 3.75 IPS on a metal tape- how bad can they be ?


By modern standards? Absolute drek. :-(
