I dare say the VCR even on its standard linear audio tracks would give
better audio quality than these 1/2 and 1/4 - speed cassette products. If
you spring for a VHS-Hi Fi model - be sure you're getting one that allows
you to dub audio to the Hi-Fi tracks - then there's aboslutely no comparison
the sound quality of VHS-Hi-Fi is going to be light years ahead of slow
speed cassette.
