I'm a happy beta user.  I got a good deal on a beta hifi unit, only to
find the next week that MTS had been added (which I expected) to the
new decks (for more money).

Then I saw that Super Beta was advertised, and it's been mentioned in
several articles on the net.  I understand it is compatible with beta.

What is Super Beta?

How is it technically better?

Does it improve on beta hifi as well?

Also, I know this is a dumb obsolete question, but what is the difference
in recording schemes between beta and vhs?

Are there any currently available books or periodicals on this stuff?
