How much is "not much money" to use their rig? Yeah, like the other guy said a budget would be nice, but realistically since you don't have a 388 yet either a *total* budget would be best. Since you're invariably buying second hand, a portion of this total budget needs to be on hand at all times and...

The best way is to have a bank of car batteries with a high quality inverter. The batteries will act as a buffer for the Genny and it won't need to be running all the time either. How many watts do you calculate you will need? I did something similar for a client who had a natural gas backup generat...

The "pancake" is the discount way to purchase new premium tape. It makes lots of sense if you have a stash of reel flanges or old reels of crappy sticky tape. The pancake is wound on a hub, and all you do is screw the flanges on either side. tapeheads.net has a good pictorial tutorial of how to do i...

Honestly, I never applied pencil to paper and hammered out exactly *how* to get higher levels out of this unit. Jim Williams implied that it can be done, and there's little that I can think of standing in the way....except for the heads. I don't understand the physics of them well enough to know wha...

Also, if your caps are too big your cards might not fit anymore.

Those brands are both good, what you should do is decide on one or the other,find who you're going to order from and count up how many you need. Then look at the total price with the volume discount for either voltage and decide whether its worth the extra "x" amount. For the 10v caps I think I went...

Yeah, putting them on the back of the card is easiest, just don't short the leads of the caps against other solder points. You can use heatshrink for the longer runs. In fact, using old style "wire wrap" sockets with the super long legs make these mods a breeze.

Man, I would LOVE to snag that off of you but I have no way to get it to Toronto.

Yes, that will work. I only had 16R so I had to parallel them.

Hi guys. I've been having trouble with the above unit, so here's a crosspost I made on another forum. Hopefully someone will be able to help me. Thanks in advance, I appreciate any and all assistance given....you WILL be thanked in the linernotes I promise you! I purchased it in working order. The p...

Thanks guys, this is exactly what i was looking for. Yeah, the guy also threw in the tascam degausser as well as a Yamaha pm-430 mixer. I already have an old Sunn mixer with a little spring reverb tank as well, both are 8 tracks so i have sme options there. I'm going to be recording mostly black and...

Greetings Tape Op boards, Longtime lurker here, I come before you to humbly request guidance and advice about my latest acquisition...a (what appears to be) perfectly working Tascam 38 unit. It came with the remote, pair of DBX units and about a dozen reels of Ampex 456 tape, as well as a few reels ...
