I have used my Hifi VCR for audio recordings for years.The specs. exceed my Tandberg reel to reel at 71/2 speed. In my system the sound reproduction is excellent. It is also my understanding that you can record at the lower speed because of the moving heads in VCRs. I can't tell the difference in sound quality between the speeds. You can record up to 6 hours of music on 1 tape. The only caveat is to use quality VHS tape. Good luck.
