Akai 747 w/DBX question sleepwalker65355 posts01-09-2019 10:26pmI hope you weren’t using a bulk tape eraser. Those are way too powerful to demagnetize a tape deck, and have pretty short duty cycles No its a head demagnetizer with the rubber coated tip. | |
Skeptic or just plain hard headed Update: So on my main system I have removed both the Morrow Audio cable and the Makenzie cable. Replaced with an Audio Quest Water series cable (the ones with the battery packs). Another poster commented on and Im paraphrasing here "what’s up with... | |
Akai 747 w/DBX question @johnss "Incidently the Vishays do wonders for MM and MC cart loading positions, but not trying to hi jack the thread. "I am perfectly fine with talking about whatever so it all fits IMO. I think these are all good ideas, and the more I think abou... | |
