I'm pretty sure there were actually only 2-3 different tapes at Sony, and all that diverse model line was nothing more than a marketing trick. The in-depth technical description refers to what 99% of customers don't nearly understand, neither they have capability to verify. Furthermore, even if there was a difference between these tapes, it couldn't be noticeable with low and mid grade cassette players.
THEN WHY DID THEY PUTTED DOLBY A B C S, AND HX-PRO ON THE CADSSETTE DECS. AND EVEN THE MPX FILTER. AND THAT FILTER IS NOT ON EVERY RADIO. FOR BETTER SOUND ON YOUR RADIO.
