Its quite funny as most of the cassette machines on sale now in the dying
era of tape use DC or permanent magnets for erase/bias.
Funny old world.
I'd be interested in knowing where your statistic that "most" of the
cassette machines on sale now use DC bias comes from. Personally I doubt it.
You may well find that although DC *erase* is common enough in cheaper
cassette recorders, bias is AC. It takes a lot less power from the
oscillator to provide bias than to erase a tape.
