| Reel to reel Gusser, I don't recall any specific person; just contact them, and someone will lead you to where you want to go.That Otari is a perfect deck for home use; especially when you have someone close who can work on it and get parts when you need them. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Out of Africa"; I give you "Fatoumata Diawara"; she only sings in her native tongue, which is "Mali", but that's good enough for me and the rest of the world.She is so expressive that she doesn't need words, her music tells the story. Once I saw... | |
| Reel to reel I have a Technics RS 1500 that I modified by replacing all the electrolytic capacitors with "Black Gates", and also replacing all the transistors with new ones. Panasonic people are wonderful to do business with; while I didn't get the caps from t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the kind words Schubert. I've been reading your fantastic posts here and there; they let me know that you're doing well, and that makes my day. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mary_jo, I'm not really back, but I'm moved by your kind words. My health is not the best subject.Since you like my stories, the next one will be just for you. As to the jazz, others are really submitting some good jazz, I wont compete with them... | |
| Reel to reel orpheus 10If you are telling us that your tape copies (high level signal) sound better, than the source LP - (low level signal) - LP - in your room/ system; then it simply IMO indicates improvements can be made to your vinyl setup. This makes "... | |
| Reel to reel I will never acquire any other tapes aside from the one's I make; any time tapes are recorded and played back on the same machine, they are perfect.The machine would have to be calibrated for someone else's tape, and it makes no sense to go throug... | |
| Reel to reel Here is an open letter of apology to AKAI buyers and owners; the model I had was a cheap bad one that I would not have bought if I knew what I was doing; AKAI makes better models. | |
| Reel to reel I don't have "tape hiss"; evidently you were not doing proper maintenance, or bought cheap tape.I had an AKAI that had all the problems you stated "double", but my Technics RS 1500, has been major trouble free for the last 20 years. It's been cal... | |
| Reel to reel Go back to 03-27-2019 7:53pm, in order to discover why 15 IPS sounds better than the original on playback. At 15 IPS the tape picks up the tiniest details; some that the cartridge glosses over, are illuminated when recording at 15 IPS. This is am... | |
| Reel to reel The results of recording reel to hard drive was not worth the effort. | |
| Reel to reel Benjie , you hit the nail dead on the head. Next, I'm going to download 15 IPS to computer hard drive, and evaluate the playback. | |
| Reel to reel At 15 IPS, my tape deck defies logic; yes, the copy is better than the source.At 7.5 IPS, the tape equals the source. Most people agree on this; if that's so, what's the improvement at 15 IPS?I don't make the news, I just report it; 15 IPS on ree... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It just so happens that I was listening to Grant Green with tears in my eyes; I knew and heard Grant Green even before Blue Note. I was having a beer with my jazz crew at the club where Grant performed on weekends; we all knew and admired Grant as... | |
| Reel to reel Maybe it would help if I compared the size of the tape to the size of the signal; beginning with a cassette, and working up to 1/2 track, which uses all of the 1/4 inch tape in one direction; that yields a lot more signal strength than what many p... |
