Default Re: LEFT - STEREO - MONO - RIGHT Switch

Indeed, practically all domestic cassette decks will exhibit this behaviour to some extent when replaying cassettes recorded on something else (including commercially recorded cassettes). It's a matter of precise vertical head alignment rather than simple azimuth. The phase error is largely undetectable when listening in stereo.
