Could anyone explain to me why I am not able to record the sound from
an Apple IIgs speaker output with just a ordinary tape recorder and a
stereo patch-cable?

I have tried this a few times with both Music Construction Set and with
The Music Studio and neither allows me to record the sound (music) with
any clarity.  When I play the sound back it is accompanied with a lot of
static and noise in the background.

I have heard that if you connect the sound output to the input of a stereo
reciever and then into a cassette deck, the music can be clearly recorded.
Why can't I do it with a normal stereo tape recorder (I don't own a stereo
reciever).  Does this problem have something to do with amplification?
My feeling is that it does but I really don'y know much about sound 
elecxtronics.

Any help or explanations would be greatly appreciated.

(no I don't own MDideas' stereo card)
