This is probably not the correct newsgroup to post this to, but here
goes anyway.

I recently tried to record a song from a record to a tape using a
friend's stereo.  There were a couple of problems with this:

- the "s" sounds were scratchy sometimes.  Is this, as I think, just a
  problem with his turntable, or is this a general problem?

- the tape sounds fine when played back on the stereo, but the pitch is
  off when I play it on my walkman.  It sounds to me that my walkman is
  playing the tape at a slightly faster speed than the stereo.  Has
  this happened to anyone else?  What can be done about this lack of
  portability?

As you can tell from the above, I know little about stereo systems.
It's not that I don't play a lot of music, I do.  But up to now, I have
almost always played them from prerecorded cassettes.  However, I would
now like to record some cassettes myself, and I am seriously thinking
about buying a good stereo in the near future.  Is there a source that
would serve as a good introduction to the ins & outs of stereos?
