| Akai 747 w/DBX question Hey thanks for the info. I really love my reel to reel and I have had one since the 70s and I want to keep it in top working condition. I have it serviced once every two years so I Know the heads have not been de-maged at least since then, if even. | |
| Akai 747 w/DBX question @cleeds Well well well what do ya know. That’s good! Ok I feel better now. I will perform the operation and see if it makes a difference. I am not really having s problem per se but if you guys recommend it needs to be done, and I have the right ... | |
| Akai 747 w/DBX question Ok so this device is called "Han-D-Mag" and the instructions are on the actual device.. go figure. This thing looks like it was made in the 1970s at least. The instruction say " plug in, Bring energized probe close to work, then withdraw slowly t... | |
| Akai 747 w/DBX question @cleeds you are prob correct. I was following instructions from a YouTube video if I remember right. Let me dig this thing up and see if it even has an on/off switch. It was given to me so it does not have any instructions. | |
| Bright or Dim? @geoffkaitI digress. I did see a pair starting at $17k so your most likely correct. https://www.thecableco.com/25th-anniversary-luminist-speaker-cable-pair.html | |
| Bright or Dim? @geoffkait Luminist Speaker Cables $25,500Don’t you mean 2,500.00. I don’t think they were $25k. | |
| Akai 747 w/DBX question also I was careful to remove the reels when I did it. Now this was about a year or two ago.. maybe longer. I put that thing in a drawer and have not looked at it since. Scared the crap out of me haha. | |
| 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... | |
| Akai 747 w/DBX question @cleeds there are are some that think demagnetizing tape heads is not s good practice. Their words. Not mine. I was just curious to know how he felt about it. So you make a good point. I will never try it “myself” if it gets done it will be part ... | |
| Akai 747 w/DBX question @johnss i have ave heard of the Doing the Vishay. Have not pushed it however. I’m not having a problem with much noise since I have been recording at 7.5. At the faster speed my recordings sound much much better. I was interested in the DBX mainly... | |
| Akai 747 w/DBX question The Dolby A seems to be more of a console device. | |
| Akai 747 w/DBX question Yes the 224 will but not sure about the Dolby A | |
| Akai 747 w/DBX question Im also seeing a couple of the Type A systems but nothing that looks like it will work with my consumer electronics. The Type A encoder/decoder looks promising, but Im not sure I can find one. Both good looking options. Thanks again. I will let yo... |
