I was saying to compare the cassette and the MD.  The MD being a digital
format will record the cricket with great fidelity.  The cassette will
sound terrible.  I can't see why anyone would still use cassette over MD
these days.
Sorry for the confusion

How so, Wil? I just took a look at the field cricket from your CD and 
compared it to some of my MD recordings of that species. I couldn't see
or 
hear anything I'd call a marked difference, but maybe I'm not looking at

the same things. Also I know that your ear is finely-tuned to insect
calls, 
and mine is not .
