I have seen online reviews of particular cassette decks that claim
that Dolby C makes for bad-sounding recordings, especially on high
frequencies. Example is Harman Kardon DC520 cassette deck.

I have only used Dolby B in the past but need to replace an old broken
deck. Is Dolby C good on most modern decks, but bad only on a few? Or
do people complain about it in general?

Thanks for the feedback.

Dolby C was replaced by Dolby S.
Dolby C was extremely touchy regarding deck calibration. Dolby S is not, and
provides improved performance as well.
But can't you transition to a newer medium? The Philips cassette is over,
done, obsolete, and for good reason.
