Thanks for clarifying things, Scott.


Now, if you want real flutter removal in an unattended way, using the
Plangent system to recover residual bias and lock speed to it gives
really a night and day change in the sound. It's like everything is
tightened up and much of the sense of blending of instruments goes
away. The effect is dramatic enough that I sometimes wonder if it's
a good idea or if it's eliminating something the producer originally
compensated for in the mixing.

Mind you it's probably not practical for a 1 7/8 ips cassette.

Incidentally this morning I was going through old issues of Audio
Amateur looking for the original Jung modification to the Magnavox
CD players, and found your letter on VHS vs. Beta....
