I don't have the answer at my fingertips, but I'm positive that you could tailor the output of your reel to fit this;          https://www.gearogs.com/gear/54893-parks-audio-budgie-tube-phono-preamp

Uberwitz, have you thought about a phono pre for MM cartridges?

Yesterday, I recorded some new LP's on used tape at 15 IPS, the music came through, but there was tape hiss. This is a "tape hiss" free zone; that tape will be discarded, leaving the empty reel for later use.Today, I've been listening to Diane Sc...

Uberwaltz, I had a friend who had a big beautiful Sony reel. The only thing I remember was the big multicolored buttons, and it's silent running.It's not about whether or not it's state of the art, but whether or not you can get parts, and someon...

Tomic, as a matter of fact my preamps have "Black Gate" capacitors; if there is an electrolytic that's not too large, it's "Black Gate". When current equipment fails, I'll switch to Nichicon.My speakers have Jantzen 0554 3.3uF 800V Z-Superior Cap... 
Fate? Karma? Purgatory? Help me put a good spin on this.
"kingfish" sounded like a carbon copy of Albert King, which is a good thing from my point of view because Albert was my favorite.

Thank you Atmasphere, Grand Master shows up in the manual as 2 Bias, and 2 EQ, the same as Benjie recommended.

I know I'm repeating, but there is a good reason; while you don't need new caps all throughout the deck, they will greatly enhance your recordings if installed on "input" and "output". Get the best electrolytic capacitors available.

n80, there were a lot of juke joints in E. St. Louis, Ill, and while Black, a lot of White people went to them; oddly enough, they were treated as guests, and had fewer problems than other Black people; this was in the late 50's and 60's.Since gir...

Thank you Benjie, knowing the bias and EQ before I buy the tape gives me the consolation that I'll get good results.Gusser, I'm glad you have the proper paper work, now you'll get the best results. That will help you enjoy your new deck even more.

Gusser, I hope you can help me; I'm looking at page 9 of the RS-1506 operating instructions, where they have the bias, and equalization chart. I'm trying to translate this for new tape that's not listed.This is the tape I'm purchasing;        htt...

Gusser, I'm green with envy; hope he's got one for me.I don't think refurb includes new capacitors; if not, they don't cost much, and they make a huge difference. "Nichicon" are very good. The price of the work would depend on the difficulty, bu...

Albert King played every juke joint between St. Louis and where he was from in Mississippi. When he was in St. Louis, he lived in Eagle Park Acres, a place where at night, it was so dark that your headlights had a hard time penetrating it, just li...

n80, it isn't necessary to know anything, only believe what you see around you; stores closing, malls closed a long time ago; things have changes more in the last 20 years than they have in the last 120 years; for the worst. The question was, "Wh...
