You got to "ride" your gain on cassette recordings to maximize S/N ratio, those Chromium dioxide tapes, then pure Metal particle tapes, allowing those red peak indicators to flash just so w/o overloading the tapes. I wore out the azimuth adjustment screws on my Sony deck just trying to match the sound quality of the source. I thought I did but upon later listening, they proved fruitless due to mechanical stress and degradation of the tape media itself, and with the introduction of the CD with its wild dynamic range, the cassette days were doomed. Fond memories indeed... -- empty99 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ empty99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3488 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33095 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
