Re: Capture 914 and 930 1/4" Tape -Anyone try this new tape

If you need another opinion on the Tascam MX2424 you could PM this guy named Larry Crane. As I remember, he had one of those in his recording studio quite a while back.

Re: Sytek Mic Pre Improvements
The mods are not expensive, but yes, I agree with you that the changes may not be all that noticeable.winky dinglehoffer wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 10:36 pmEven by the blog's description, the change doesn't sound very dramatic at all. Are you sure it's worth it?

atomiumamps has an interesting tumblr blog article about Sytek MPX-4Aii mic preamps and attempts to implement different op amps to improve performance.
