[M100] New Age Digital Storage Box (NADSBox)

Team, I know I'm late to the party, but I just purchased a T100 and it should arrive soon:) I noticed the NADSBox has been discontinued or out of stock. I'm happy to help to get more made and the proceeds can all go to the club. Is there anyone to talk to about the design and firmware? Also,

Kurt, you were right. Funny thing is I had it apart yesterday and even after spinning the large pulley it looked like the belt was okay. Turns out it was denigrated and what was left was tar in its place...what a mess to clean it. I'll check out the link you provided next. Thanks, JR On Tue,

Ken, you have been a busy guy:) I didn't realize you were behind the Virtual-T project. Is it possible to copy and paste code into it? Also, would a TPDD work with it? If so, it would help me tremendously with my WAV archiving project. Thank You, Jesus R On Tue, Aug 21, 2018 at 10:36 AM, Jesus

It's working fine here:) If you use the recoding as is it will be to low to be useful. This is why I increase the amplitude in software by +25db. This produces playback of about -6db and free of clipping and the unit finds and loads data effortlessly without the use of an inline amplifier. Phones,
