This is the sentence which is potentially misleading to folks of lesser intellect than you and I:

"Besides, the resulting open reel tapes via an Otari MX5050 BII2 and deHavilland 222 tapehead preamp sound better (well, to me) than the original cassettes. "

The only reason I haven't sent my team to your house to set you straight is that you included the disclaimer "well, to me". ;)

But then you went and said this: "I do find it amazing how much the latter sounds like the former."

Well, geez, Dave. Which is it? Better, or similar? I would hope "similar", even "nearly identical". That would indicate that the r-r machine/tape isn't imparting a new sonic signature/tonal quality onto the inputted audio signal.

Btw, I love your TV programs. ;)
