Default Cassette Decks

The problem with the higher end cassette decks was always that
while they were able to make slight improvements on the performance
of the cassette format, they could not make improvements that in any
way compared, either technically or from a listening standpoint, with
those that became available at a far lower cost with even the now-
endemic and cheap 16/44 digital.


Absolutely true. But that doesn't change the point I was making... The
Dragon is a marvelous piece of technology.


What makes the Dragon worth every penny is the ability to automatically
match the azimuth of a tape made on a misaligned machine.

You can't do anything about the flutter or the incorrect bias of the original
recorder. But you CAN do something about the azimuth alignment and the Dolby
levels.
