How in the world did they make such nice recordings? :dunno:

I'm rolling a mixtape made by the former owner of my Teac A-6010 on a Teac 3300S, and Blind Faith's Do What You Like sounds so much better than any copy I've heard anywhere....this goes for most of the tapes this guy made.

Ever think that?

Yeah, but its really not all THAT hard to make good tapes if you knew what you were doing in the 1st place...I had good equipment, knew what it could do & what I wanted/expected from it, & I STILL enjoy listening to the tapes I made in the '70s while in college.
 
Making a great tape takes only 4 things:
1) A great source.
2) A very-good and properly-alligned tape deck.
3) Good tape
4) The know-how to make the most of the chosen tape on the chosen machine.

Assuming that you have the latter three down, then perhaps it is time to consider dumping your mixer in favor of a really good tube preamp, and acquiring a really good Turntable and cartridge so that you will have a great source yourself.

I need a VPI RCM and some non-secondhand records. Ive got a Lenco L75 with Shure V15III running into an Onkyo P=3060R as a phono pre, then into a Denon AVP-5000 (TOTL, 1991) linestage.
