    The cassette is Dolby HX Pro which the player is supposed to be as well.
    From the web;
    "Dolby HX Pro was introduced in the early 1980’s and provides high frequency headroom extension for analog tape recordings. Because it has the Dolby name and is included in most modern tape recording machines many people have erroneously assumed it is a noise reduction system, which it isn’t. It dynamically adjusts the record bias level to counteract a phenomenon known as “self biasing” that can take place when recording hi frequencies to analog tape. The result is greatly improved headroom, which can be used to record at higher levels thus improving the signal to noise ratio."

    Used to use this recording to show off it's DDD pedigree. My CD is the normal one though but Dang, the beginning is awesome on a nice system and then the rhythm just keeps getting better. SUPER NOVA :DB)
    Turn it up! B)
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
