Prerecorded cassettes were always something of a compromise (high-speed

Dolby B was starting to sound pretty good.

That reminds me that there was at least one company who did 'real time'
Cassette duplications for the sake of sound quality. I can't now recall
their name(s), though. Something like "White(something" perhaps was one of
them.

There were probably many. One I know of in North
London was called "SuperCassette" (original, eh?)
They had a large room with dexion shelves floor to
ceiling with two or three realtime high-end cassette
recorders (Nakamichi or something similar) on each
shelf. Each "aisle" was fed by its own "master
recorder" (Revox A77) with a studio copy of the
master running at 15 ips. The cassettes sounded
quite good!
