Didn't mean to challenge uneccessarily, but they are talking about
radio program masters, not casual recordings done on a kitchen table.
That's all I meant - the quality they wish to maintain is up to their

years way back using cassettes for original and broadcast masters on
low budget projects!

Pardon me.
