Best Demagnetizer for TEAC A-3340S?
I need to clean the heads on my R2R and want to do it the right way. I’ve heard bad things about vintage demagnetizes but have also heard that the expensive ones are overhyped and not necessary. Is there a specific model for the A-3340S I should seek out?- GoinMobile
