I am reposting this message because I don't think it got through.

I am in the process of making copies of incredibly expensive Japanese
animation tapes that *I BOUGHT* (I want to watch the copies so my originals
don't wear out) and the results have been poor.  

I'm recording from one RCA portable hi-fi VHS to an RCA portable stereo 
(non-hi-fi) VHS.

The colors bleed and the sound sucks.  Can a good enhancer help?
What is the general consensus comcerning enhancers?  I saw a Recoton V-615
enhancer for about $288.00 that someone told me was great.  But others
have told me they are a waste of money (the whites turning out blindingly
white is one complaint I've heard).

Also, Recoton recommends sending the signal through a $65.00 stabilizer
and then into the enhancer (I guess this is to eliminate rolling?).

Is there a product out there that is a stabilizer-enhancer in one box?

Any opinions and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I'll post a summary to the net if appropriate.

Thanks in advance.
