Subject: Re: arsclist Duplicating casette
tapes
I think you'll get better results doing
real-time duplication (or 2x at the most) in a Sony or perhaps Kenwood (I'm
not sure of their current models, I have a good older model) or Teac
dual-well deck.
We use both a Marantz PMD510 and a Sony TC-WR11ES dual deck for dubbing
cassettes. I like the Sony because it has a pause button--we do a lot of
copying from multiple sources.
However, you might also consider copying them
to CD-R rather than other cassettes.
Or you might consider doing what we do: original recordings on DAT (you
can record at 48 KHz on DAT, you only get 44.1 on CD). The material could be
backed up to DAT, or captured on a computer.

I use a Nakamichi Dragon for cassette playback
and a pair of Sony CDRW33 machines for recording. That will extract as much
quality as you can hope
for.

We are beginning an oral
history project and plan to purchase equipment to make reference copies of
the original cassette tapes. Is it best to purchase a dual cassette deck
such as a Sony or RCA, etc. or are there decks that are best for
duplicating tapes that are not manufactured to be part of a stereo system?
I would appreciate any advice on this subject.
Thanks
