Welcome to Audiokarma's new tape forum

[jbrainey]

This is a positive addition to AK. Thanks Grumpy.

Thanks Grumpy for listening to us who have been asking for this change.

It has been a long time coming... and I'm also glad it's here!

Clear Duck tape is my favorite!

 

[Cadillac Kid]

We go 30 inches per second ...try that one your Technics 1200MkII. Those guys go round and round and round and they are just a device, we are a FORMAT.

I like BOTH forums, really.

I'll miss all you tapeheads now that you've been segregated.

Mutual. We're kind of a dying breed, I guess. They've put us out to pasture.

Thanks. For some unknown reason, I've been getting back into tape lately. A year ago all I still had was an old Denon cassette deck, not used in years and boxed up in my basement. Now I also have 3 Nakamichi cassette decks, 2 Otari reel to reels and an old Akai reel to reel (the last was a gift from a friend, because they were about to throw it away at his work).

 

[outlawmws]

Cool. Maybe someday I'll find the 10 incher I want to relace the 7 incher!

tape forum?!?!?!?!...... seriously?.... perhaps there should be an 8 track forum as well....

personally when i paint i like the blue tape, the green stuff tends to stick way too much.....

 

[VinylHanger]

Now can we split these up into cassette and R2R, and where do I post if I need info on how to tape my vinyl to tape? :scratch2:

Seriously, Looks like this is what it took to get VintX outta the closet and posting again, makes it all worth it. :yes:

 

[Vintage TX]

I have a few cassette decks and also 8-tracks, so don't be shy

One thing at a time. It took a long time to get this far.

A Reel -y great idea!

 

[SixCats!]

Hi all,

Ha, how timely is this new forum ? Why just this morning I decided to hook up my ol' AKAI GX-625 Reel to Reel having been inspired by Capt. Scary's (aka Barry) very recent find of a nice AKAI Reel to Reel and MARANTZ 2385. This morning I played some live from the MET OPERA broadcast that I had taped live one Saturday afternoon back in the mid 1980's. Heck, the AKAI sounded pretty darn good connected to my FISHER 400 and WHARFEDALE W-90's.

Regards,
SixCats!

 

[Vintage TX]

I think we all can get along here, cassette or reel

 

[hifi_nut]

Actually, yes!
It will take some time, but eventually, it will get done.

Geeezzuuss, you´re actually gonna go through six years worth of postings?

Whoever does it deserves my deepest admiration and respect.:thmbsp:

 

[nakmandan]

Woo Hoo! Don't get me wrong, I like TT's as much as the next guy, but now I don't have to scan through every twenty or thirty posts to get to the next cassette post!

I too have a reel to reel A 4300-SX Teac, and I love it, but for some bizzare reason I love 8-Track players and tapes. I just think they are cool. Probably for more nostalgic reasons than anything else. Just brings back memories of the old high school days!

 

[titanstats]

Geez, a guy goes on vacation for a while, and everything changes. Good call Grumpy & Co. -- tape posts/questions tended to get buried pretty fast by those vinyl boys. Well done -- should make life easier for everyone. :thmbsp:

Problem with cassette deck

Hi,
I recently had a problem with my SONY cassette deck, in which it stopped functioning due to a power loss. I've been thinking whether I should find out how to repair the problem, or if I should simply replace the unit. My question is, would it be more economical to repair the loss of power or to buy a new cassette deck?
