![]() These KSC's, though new, show the Hfe readings range from 403 down to 339. and have a new PEAK DCA55 meter to help me. (Board: No.TH50001A as shown on the solder side) I have 60 Fairchild KSC1845's to choose from. My GX635D is on the bench with all 2SC458 transistors removed from both Left and Right channels in the Pre-amp. Thank you in advance for any advice you may have. A head not-alignment it’s also questionable since the tape plays great in both direct and reverse mode when it’s NOT flipped. The same preamps are being used to play the tape in direct mode, reverse mode, regardless if you flip it or not. This is very strange, why such in-balance when I flip the tape while it’s playing perfectly if the tape it’s not flipped. Same happens when I play the (flipped) tape in Reverse mode except that now, the right channel is higher and the left channel is lower. However, if I FLIP the tape and play it again, the left channel is now playing about 20dB less than the level it was recorded at and the right channel is playing about 10dB higher than the level it was recorded at. If I playback the tape in the same order as it was recorded (play in direct mode and reverse mode), it plays great, both channels are equal, in both directions, just the way they have been recorded. I record a brand new tape, heads perfectly clean, both channels recorded equal it’s all good. Hello All, my Akai 635D is behaving very strange. Yes, I bought a new amp, TT, EQ, speakers.you only live once. ![]() Īt the end of the day, it is your dream and it sounds thirty-something times better than anything you've ever heard. ya all know the story.Īnd then, you realize you can get your dream back and.you realize it's not just the sound (surely, someone's gonna interject saying their whatever-brand R2R sounds better over 16Khz or. It doesn't matter(!)- AT ALL-! It's a dream and, regardless of it being' a money pit, I am re-living it, thirty-something years laterīeing a teenager, I saw it playing Tales from topographic oceans. Most likely, not the cheapest (considering I had to ship it from Japan and pay ScoMo's f'g taxes). We had a list of "members" but I think we should start a new.This one's not about how good the heads are or how clean or cheap I got it nothing of that sort. It's up to you if you want to send one copy or many. The "genre" of the music is not important. Thats why I decided to send a tape to sparood.Ī personalized label is fun in my opinion. The activity in this thread and tape swapping has been low for a while Yes, I think exchanging tapes is a great idea. Should I participate? Maybe get a tape copier thingy and make artsy labels? Or just send one-offs? What have folks been up to? It is noise music so probably not very interesting to most. It's just a mono deck (Marantz PMD-222), but the tape actually sounded pretty good (well to me but I'm not very discerning). I dug out my tape deck today and recorded some of my no-input mixing board music. It sort of reminds me of that post card exchange thing. If you don't mind a digital recorder Tascam DP-008EX works fine. ![]() Tascam portastudios would be fun but I don’t have the space for one of them & not really portable unfortunately. Thank you, I was looking for something I can throw in my backpack and take it outside to record compositions onto it, but seems like my best option is to find a battery powered & recording capable walkman, learn it how to fare without any visual input. I could say any walkman by Sony or JVC from the 80's will suffice for low-quality recording but without metering and lack of inputs I will be frustrating and I only recommend this if you want to record lo-fi black metal or grutto electronics.Īnother option is to go the 4-track route and look for an old Tascam Portastudio or equivalent, which will open a lot more options for recording like monitoring your inputs, adding gain and EQ to recordings, being able to use multiple tracks and it's a lot easier to connect your synths to a 4-track then to a walkman. A little offtopic but do you guys have any portable casette player/recorder recommendations? I’d like to step my toes into this territory but need something portable & reliable.ĭo you want a walkman or can it be a portable but slightly larger device? If you want the best of the best take a look at the Sony WM-D6C Walkman Pro or Marantz PMD-222 / PMD-430, but those aren't the cheapest and can be tricky to find. ![]()
