Lines: 8For those of you interested in a mid-priced cassette deck, Consumer Reports has an evaluation in their June 84 issue. While I don't agree (as always) to their policy of boiling the entire report down to one numerical score, I certainly agree with their recommendation for noise reduction. They believe that dbx is the most effective means of noise reduction, and recommend the use of an outboard dbx 224 if your tape deck doesn't have built-in dbx. Bill Mitchell (whuxj!wjm)
