I disagree with the statement or implication  that cassette decks are as
good as Beta HiFi.  dbx really  increases the  sensitivity of a cassette
deck to  misalignment  and head  wear.  You have to spend a lot to get a
cassette deck with adequate frequency  response and then they never seem
to match the manaufacturers  specifications.  Also, music passed through
ANY noise reduction system never sounds quite the same as the original.
