Reel deep thoughts...
Anybody know off the top of his/her head what the MOL or SOL in nWb/m is for cassette tape? Its on the tip of my brain...
I'm wondering because I've been rolling this idea around in my head regarding my Tascam 234 4-track machine. I think it may be more trouble than it is worth, but the answer to the above would put the last nail in the coffin.
The audio power rails are +/-12V in the 234. It looks like most of the components in the audio circuits can handle +/-15V. I think Teac went with +/-12V because that's what the dbx circuitry runs on, and multiple audio rails would considerably complicate things in an already fairly dense chassis.
BUT...
Its rolling around in my head because of the higher headroom the higher power rails would afford, but its not really even worth it if the recording medium can't take advantage of the higher headroom anyway.
Anybody?
