going from digital radio to analog metal tape, will improve the sound- the tape will tend to "fill in" the holes in the digital resolution

also going upscale in tape speed and track width, can improve the sound, i.e. going from 1/4" stereo tape 8-track (cartridge), to 1/4" 4-track stereo

I recorded an old cruddy store bought rock tape from cassette 1-7/8 IPS to Elcaset 3.75 IPS, it improved it considerably- boosts up the low end/midrange in the soundstage- with the wider tracks

don't ask me how, but it does
