I agree James. For transferring a lot of cassettes though, adjusting the factory azimuth screw especially multiple times can lead to problems. Most tape players were never designed for regular adjusting of that tiny unlubricated screw, and on a deck with a worn (grooved) tape head, adjusting azimuth can crease the tape or worse. It certainly requires care.
