[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 68121, member: 20"] I used a modified Sony BetaMax HiFi VCR during the 80's and early 90's for recording LP's. The sound compared well to a good reel-to-reel tape deck. I had occasional dropouts if the tape stretched or the heads became dirty but otherwise it worked very well. Because it uses FM modulation the sound quality was acceptable even on low grade tapes. But Chrome and Metal tapes definitely provided better results. Few people could detect any degradation with metal tapes. The machine fell into disuse when blank BetaMax tapes became rare. With all the advantages a PC plus good sound card offers I don't think it's an attractive option today though. [/QUOTE]
