I have already got a tape recorder and now here is what I am thinking. Since there are quite a few tapes with Dolby A, Dolby B, Dolby c, Dolby S, Dolby SR, DBX and since some of the tapes were not properly EQ I would need an abili...

After a few years of straggling I let my better Reel-to-Reel machine go. I still have my Otari that is good to play many tapes that I have but my quality–pushy customized Stelevox was just recently sold. Nope, I do not feel that there is anything wr...

This thread is not about tape but rather about my feeling that High-Resolution is not “there” yet. It is unquestionable that tape is able to get great sonic result but how obtainable the tapes are? Moreover how obtainable the tapes of the recordings ...

Actually I have no interest to compare Tape vs CD vs Vinyl, I enjoy listening to music even when I listen to MP3 in my Car. what is interesting to me is Tape machines are beautiful equipments and I enjoy looking at tape machines in my room.Analog sou...

That's a fine looking analog rig you got there. Glad to see you switched to tape instead of other belts. My friends at Galibier and Redpoint are really into it. They say the taller the tape, the better. I believe they are usin...

[quote user="Paul S"] I was simply amazed years ago by the little Sony "Pro Walkman" tape recorder, which could literally create and play back material that was sonically better than most records.[/quote] I also have used a professional DAT recorder ...

[quote user="manisandher"] But can't you simply take the tape out from your Placette and plug it into the Pacific's analog inputs? I'm assuming that the Placette has, in addition to its variable output, a fixed output...[/quote] Yes, I have thought...

The issues with tape speed are complicated. I have no recordable NAB equalized headblock for my Stellavox SU8 and I can only play NAB tapes: 2 and 4 track. My recording headblock is IEC equalized 2 track only. As I said I n...

We know the Tape Albums are less than 100 titles and we can not use this format for music listening but sometimes we prefer to have a Tape Machine in home.

I gave a thought to your claim of a non-objective and superficial judgment of digital audio when comparing CD's to LP's.If I understand it correctly, the raw file has potential to sound very good (given no losses or damage when downloading and given ...

I tried for a few years - many years ago - to put together a tape-based system. The prices kept going up on equipment and recorded tape, and program kept getting more scarce, until the "secondary market" kicked in. These were the "Bait and Switch" ...

Despite the sheer mass and moment of the Micro's platter(s), the tape must either be detracting from (when loose) or helping (when taught) the bass.
Speculating on the former, perhaps the tape when slack interacts (slipping and sliding)&nb...

So are we trying to decide how it should be done so we can roll our own? Because I was simply amazed years ago by the little Sony "Pro Walkman" tape recorder, which could literally create and play back material that was sonically better th...

Since I do not do SACD and stay in PCM world I always wonder what the optimum sampling rate might be. As I told I discard the 48X as never was necessary rate. So, we have 44.1K, 88.2K, 176K and 352K… Surely we are out of 16-bit world – a move f...

I started in hi-fi with LPs and I have never stopped using them as my principal source for hi-fi. Some time ago I decided that master tape was better than vinyl, but I could not afford to go that route; so I settled on the next best thing: a cartrid...

Adrian, it was my thinking that if I could have whatever I wanted, then I would have a hot-rodded Studer and a big library full of 15 ips master tapes and 1st generation dubs. But since I could not figure out/afford the tape thing, I went with the n...

Here's how I'd make a hard rear cover/rear chamber.I describe the process in detail, as it is a good investment of my time; I expect to have a similar condition and requirement for my own mid-bass horns (intended for use with AK-151s).This approach c...

[quote user="hagtech"] Maybe you can do the same for the bleeder resistors and wiring bundles? That is, once you are sure it is operational. Wires can be like guitar strings. [/quote]

One of the first audio miracles that I remember was when I
was I think 10 or 11. I had a reel-to-reel machine from 60s, it was running tube
amplification around Russian tube 6N14P and I powered from this tape machine external
speakers that I build...

I do not know, I always have difficulties to talk with audio people about those subjects. They seems to have very strong and very definitive position how different driving tool affect sound of their timbales. The most ...

I have heard great recordings done and played back on +/- "portable" 15 ips machines, so I know it can be done. Also, there are so many ongoing QC issues with 30 ips that it about cancels the theoretical advantages, IMO. But if it ca...

What I heard in your room on Saturday was superb reproduction of what was recorded from 40 Hz. up. This is ideal probably for a recording of a chamber group in a small hall without anybody present. One could hear the hall surroundings which replaced ...

Last couple days I was playing with my new tape looped Placette, riming Pacific from Tape Rec output. How little a Moron need to be happy!!! Even I still have some technical issuers that I need to resolve using Pacific in and out of the tape loop but...

I spent some time with my back chamber, trying to drive the driver resonance heighted. I built a sealed sarcophagus as a back chamber (if somebody are interested I can post a picture) approximately 1.5 gallons but it moved Fs for 700Hz. Then I began...

I need to admit that I see a lot of dreams. Some of them interpretable, some of them are memorable and sane and some of them of course make me sorry that I use to rear too much Franz Kafka in my childhood. It is fun to make attempt to interpret the d...

I dunno if any of this applies to you guys and radio, but by way of analogy, when I had a tv, I might watch (and enjoy) films that I certainly wouldn't bother with if I had to shove a tape of the same into the VCR that evening.Likewise, I've fou...
