yep, much worse. It's not rapidly changing, but it can be different from one day to another. It's not bad enough fro most applications but it is certainly bad enough for synchronous turntable motors. They will still work, but at the wrong speed. I am located in Greece, thing are fairly primitive her...

Absolutely. It started off with realising that the mains frequency is not as stable as I would like it to be, so I used a high quality pure sine wave inverter, quartz controlled with excellent stability, to run the main motor of my disk cutting lathe. It is a synchronous AC motor, so speed stability...

I am personally always happy to receive mixes in 192/24 and I highly recommend using the highest sample rate possible when anybody asks. I would also happily work from DSD files at 5.6 MHz and I am even happier to not have to deal with anything digital at all and work directly from tape. I also happ...

I decided a few years ago that I would never invest time an...

I forgot to mention that a balanced patchbay can be wired for either balanced or unbalanced operation. Each module can be separately configured. There is not much point in using a patchbay that can only accept unbalanced connections (if they exist), unless you plan on only ever using unbalanced equi...

A few consideration must be taken into account for such connections. What is the rest of the equipment like? Where are you most commonly patching the Tascam machines? The first question would be if it is a balanced or unbalanced input/output? Balanced I/O's that use transformers for the balancing ar...
