Vintage (early 1970s) 3M Mincom tape machine preamp for the model M64 (could be used with the M23 if you can live without a VU meter, or otherwise obtain one). The last picture shows the 3M tape machine these amps were originally installed in. Excellent condition. Brand new electrolytic cap, I...

Built for Lafayette by Sony. Used in conjunction with a TEAC A-2300SR (just sold). Great shape, works well. I tried it and it degaussed a 1/4" 1200 foot tape without issue in no time flat! Big enough to take on 10.5" reels, too. 10 minutes continuous duty! This baby is heavy (duty)...

This unit was my uncle's (no pets/kids, never smoked, air-conditioned apartment) who had an airline pilot buddy bring back from Japan 35 years ago for him. Needless to say he took great care of his gear, he even had a little cozy for it that unfortunately got lost along the way. Just take a look...

/* Bump */?

OK, first a couple of things I would like to mention. I come from the "old school." When I think of recording music, I immediately think of cleaning tape paths, threading tape onto the machine, patching in an effect, reaching for mid boost, etc. More "getting my hands dirty" kind of thing. I...

Hello, Newbie Chris here. I have a question regarding a mixer. I am currently in the market for a Alesis HD24. I guess you could call me a multi-instrumentalist. I hope to record my work track by track. Singer-songwriter stuff. So, as I am really interested in the HD24, I am also taking a look...

Owens Corning 703. I think it's available at Lowe's or other building supply companies. Check the Owens Corning website for availability in your zip code. :D

Wow, lots to read. :eek: OK, I will get educated and then come back here for questions, if necessary. Thanks much!

Hello, I am a newbie. I have recorded some projects in the past at my friend's home studio in the early 1990s. I have my own house now and have only one smallish bedroom I can devote to my music. Basically "one-man band" singer-songwriter-rock stuff. FWIW, I plan to get an Alesis HD24 as my...

Yes, again, I know that I can buy loads of ADAT-specific tapes online. However, like I said earlier, I think I was more interested to know if ADAT-specific tape was currently being manufactured and it seems that it is. Although now I have to consider the HD24 but coming up with the scratch is a...

Well here's the thing. I can get an XT20 that's been gone through and refurbished by an Alesis Authorized Service Center for $300. Turn key ADAT recording. What's a HD24 run for? Even used they go for $1k at the cheapest... I don't know if I can afford that, I gotta buy mics! ;) Here's some...

Hate to be a stick in the mud, but the nearest Guitar Center is 3000 miles from me. I guess I know that I can currently buy ADAT/S-VHS tapes. I am more interested to know if ADAT-specific tapes are still being made. This, I think, may help me make my decision whether to buy an ADAT machine...

So it's true? No more ADAT-specific tape being made? I mean, I know I can get it off eBay, but I can also get GP9 2500' off eBay too for $75.00 a reel, if you know what I mean. :eek:
