[QUOTE="Marc Hugo, post: 879109, member: 15915"] Gerhard, I was just looking for this and it's quite likely that the search criteria (keying mainly off the title) may have related to the cassette deck itself and it just happened to be playing that very evocative song by The Carpenters. It's just something that crossed my mind, I may well be wrong. All the Carpenters material would been originated on (and mixed down to) analogue tape. On that basis, EQ, sensitivity and various settings relating to saturation and the typical generous overload characteristics of analogue media would favour analogue media for playback. A well made commercial cassette done on a well-set up and freshly calibrated bi-loop duplicator, and then played back on a happenstancially sympathetic cassette deck of real quality - even one with playback azimuth adjustment would be sublime indeed. See if you possibly can recall the type of cassette deck that was used. [/QUOTE]
