| Maybe a dumb suggestion, but the last band effort that I was involved
in used boom boxes. Everyone had one, so we all brought 'em, I
supplied the power strip, and they were all situated in one location in
the room.
Like I said, dumb, and probably not optimal - but it worked. Cheap,
too.

| TELEX makes a machine that makes three copies at once at a speed
of 16:1. At that speed the NR used becomes irrelevant. You can
copy 30 minutes of tape in about 2.5 minutes. It is mid-fi as you
put it and is perfect for what you are looking for. I have one at
home that I am looking to sell. I can't remember the model # but
the original cost was close to $5000.00. I would take 20% of that.
It is in great condition (hardly used) and is just taking up room.
I have the manual etc. and a dust cover. If you would like more
info my DTN is 296-3580 or mail me at GIAMEM::ALAN.

| I bought a pioneer deck this year that deos high speed dubbing.
It's fidelity is reasoably good. Seem like i can't remember the
model number though, cost me $350 or so from Crutchfield mail order.
List was $599...
I can check the model number specs etc if you're interested.

| On the question of high-speed duplicating...
Remember, though, that if you start out to duplicate a mid-fi tape, and you
use 2x duping speed, you are playing back the original tape at twice the
normal speed, which means the frequencies will be twice the norm. Most of the
highs will be lost because they will exceed the audio frequency response of
the cassette deck (around 10khz-12khz usually). You'll end up with a low-fi
copy that sounds like mud gurgling in a geyser. It is better (but more time
consuming) to copy tapes at normal speed.

| In practice on my deck a high speed dupe is identical to a normal
speed dupe...at least to my ears...
Remember that as the tape speed goes up so does the frequency response
of both the tape and the tape deck heads. So in certain cases this
may be a wash to some degree...although I certainly don't maintain
that you would get a response of 40Khz at the top end.
