I regularly used to flick from source to monitor when recording on my
Nakamichi 582 and was always pretty staggered at how little difference
there
was. Subjectively, there didn't seem any difference to the top end.

Well ok, but when I initially dissed cassette's poor treble, it
was in the context of Walkmans. They do have crap treble, and
worse yet, since the tape being played won't have been recorded on the
Walkman, there is the problem of head azimuth differences between
the recording and playback machines, too.

Tape Walkmans were naff compared to what we have now.

Ah, well. I do still have a Walkman Pro.
