If I were you, I'd go with Beta. The sound quality is great, and, most important, the tapes are cheaper and smaller than VHS tapes. Some specs for Beta Hi-Fi (from the 5200 manual): Signal-to-noise 45dB Frequency response 20-20,000 Hz Wow and flutter 0.005% WRMS Dynamic range 80dB Hope this is helpful. --Lynn
