No specific deck rcommendations, but you may want to look for a DBX cassette
deck because the DBX system allows you to record almost 80 DB of sound with
very good signal to noise ratio.  For those of you who are not familiar with
DBX, the process logrithmically (sp?) compresses the signal during recording
and decompresses it during play back.  Since the compressed signal has very
little dynamic range it can be recorded at a fairly high level, and thus the
signal to noise ratio is very good.
