| Reel to Reel decks Tony, just saw your schematic and will follow that thread to read comments from other studer owner's, I watch with interest, external playback electronics is expensive (bottlehead is the most accessible with eros kit) so to see diy is very excitin... | |
| Reel to Reel decks Hi Tony,I just saw your modified studer tube output electronics on the what's best f-rum, it looks like you did a great job and hope to someday be able to get to that diy level with one of my own decks. | |
| Reel to Reel decks Hi Tonykyma, I also don't have a background in pro audio recording. In my post I mentioned 14" 1/2 track but meant 1/4" 1/2 track. With the nagra I like that it is portable and opens up more opportunity for recording (the iv-l can take two mics). ... | |
| Reel to Reel decks Tonykyma, I have to say I am moving in this direction. I have a nagra iv-l full track 1/4" and seeing that head coverage makes me realize the potential (not using yet, waiting for a pinch roller). I have some 14" 1/2 track masters and they are an ... | |
| Reel to Reel decks Orpheus10, good to hear about the rs1500 upgrades. I really like the rs1500, my first plan had been for outboard bottlehead electronics but will focus on transport performance then think about the playback electronics. The J corder decks made me t... | |
| Reel to Reel decks I've made some copies of vinyl on my mci jh 110 at 30ips and tascam br-20 at 15 ips, sound excellent but the vinyl sounds clearly better (wish there was not so much of a difference and think it could be tweaked to be closer..vpi aries/benz/george ... | |
| Need Reel to Reel Tape Primer Sources I finally took the time to read the "beginners guide to tape basics" on the tape project website (as noted by Mikelavigne, thanks!). I am glad that I have been careful to not play a collection of vintage tapes I acquired and will go over each of m... | |
| Wright WPP100C Phono Preamp Died I was at a local repair shop in seattle asking questions about my wright phono ag and the shop owner gave me rogers number (I wasn't sure if I should bother him), quite a coincidence to see his name and number here the next day associated with wri... | |
| Need Reel to Reel Tape Primer Sources I've been browsing on that forum but thanks for pointing me to the tape basics thread. I visited an audio repair shop today to pay a friendly visit, the owner went over a little of what is invloved in setting bias and said I could watch him do one... | |
| Need Reel to Reel Tape Primer Sources that's good news about the temperature vs humidity | |
| Need Reel to Reel Tape Primer Sources I could use a primer myself, hard to keep it all straight as I get into tape. I'm going to have to learn to set bias (the person I would take decks to is backed up in work by I would say several years, the last time I was in his shop there was no ... | |
| Big haul at local record show Julie is her Name is a fantastic record, Barney Kessel on guitar/Ray leatherwood on bass, that's it, Julie, Barney and Ray, incredible (one of my reference recordings to test equipment changes), I really need to pick up the 45 rpm reissue | |
| Reel to Reel decks I have to say though that tape can sound pretty remarkable even with a modest set up. Can't keep it modest though, that's just not going to happen! | |
| Reel to Reel decks thanks C1ferrari, I'm just worried that it will drive me to new levels of buying madness | |
| Reel to Reel decks I'm just getting into tape myself. A friend had sold me some boxes of factory recorded 7" reels and it turns out about 60 are 2-track from the 1950's (mostly classical), I informed him of the value and he agreed it was a mistake to sell them to me... |
