I'm comparing 3 Otari MX-5050B decks, and two Revox PR-99 decks at 7.5 IPS to Tandberg & Nak cassette decks. And I hear very little, if any difference.Let me put it this way: When I run off a copy of a very good sounding CD on my Nak using CrO2 or metal tape, & then do an A/B comparison with levels matched & both sources running in sync, I can tell virtually no difference. And that's about as good as it gets.
Open-reel should always beat cassette by a wide margin. On a well tweaked cassette deck, it's pretty close.

Bobbo :-)
