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.

When Dolby C came out it got good reviews, the only problem I am aware of is
finding other decks, such as in cars, that have it. If you play a Doby C
encoded tape using Dolby B it will sound harsh and the highs will be
accentuated.

The easiest thing to do is record something in both B and C and compare
them. The one you lie is the one you should use.
