One of my decks allows for bias adjusting, but not the other. Though Naks, they are pretty basic, two head decks with few adjustable settings. There is a local repair shop I trust that I could take them to for inspection of the items you list.

And thanks for the tips on not over recording. I'll try backing off the recording level a bit, because it's entirely possible that that is part of what's going on.

It's interesting that some commercial tapes with Dolby sound better with it on and others with it off. Any thoughts on why that might be?

I had pretty much tossed my cassett decks into storage until my wife mentioned that she had a lot of tapes she grew up listening to in Korea, so we pulled out one of the decks and hooked it up for so she could listen to them. Then I pulled out some of my old tapes and was pretty impressed with how they sounded. So, last weekend we bought about 20 classical music cassetts, some unopened, from a used record store for 50 cents each and some of them are really quite amazing sounding. I like the EMI ones in particular.
