Hi All, I should be getting a pair of APEX 205 ribbons for Christmas. With that in mind I have some Lundhal transformers coming in the mail and plan on doing the well documented transformer upgrade as well as the pull the wind screens off mod which is also well documented. However, ribbon...

I'm setting my 38 up for a remote tracking session of a friend. He plays classical guitar and Jazz. On this roll around is a Tascam 38, a Presonus M80 with Jensen transformers and opamps upgraded to opa627 and a Tascam M1B. The M1B allows him to hear the other tracks as he adds in each part...

I came across this link: http://www.channld.com/vinylanalysis1.html Which I found very interesting. It shows some of the spectral content of vinyl recordings to be way out to beyond 96 kHz. Of course some say that you need not record anything above 20 kHz cause we can't hear it (make that...

sweetbeats dropped an Oktaba MK-219 microphone by the other day. It was changing its output level bu 20 dB plus. At first we though it might be oscillating based on the output being changes when the transformer was touched. After a bit of testing Beats and I decided that the transformer was...

I've got a bunch of 1/2" and 1" 3M 996 on precision reels that I'm selling off. Some of the reel have a small section with SSS about 80% in. I thouught that 996 did not get SSS but a little research shows that there are a number of reports. IN any case I've got these reels up on ebay and will...

My gara<<<<Studio is getting a bit crowded. Her are some photos. Please feel free to add your studio photos to this thread.

Just a post to head you all over to eBay should you need any Tascam 32/34 parts. Some are real steals and others are more questionable :) Here is a link to the first - use other items to find the rest. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110465954772&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT...

I've sent and received a number of tapes and CD via media mail. Just recently I had about 70 pounds of tape sent in one box and for the first time the box was opened for inspection. Of course this was tape so there was no problem. So if there is any point to this post it would be that the...

To begin our story you need to go back to the beginning in this thread: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=262192 I'll need to sit down and read through all 18 pages just to be sure that I get it all. As you may know I picked up Sweetbeats Tascam 58. It has a few problems but...

I picked up a 4 track over the weekend. It has great heads and comes with a parts machine. 1/2", 15 ips and 30 ips. It looks to be in good shape.... Manual too. (hard not to grin too much.) It was a long trip up to Vancouver BC and Back. --Ethan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...

Well, I just got back from a trip from Portland to San Francisco over the weekend to puck up a deck that I bought. It is a well maintained MCI JH-110A 1/4" halftrack. This unit can take 14" reels and plays at 7.5, 15 and 30 ips. Heads have low hours on a JRF relap and in general everything...

I picked up a Presonus M80 preamp over the weekend. This unit does not have Jensen transformers. So this thread is the holding place for a DIY transformer swap, BB OPA627 op amp swap and perhaps a few more mods. I've scoured the web for data on the MP20 and M80 mods and think that I got most...

(Chalk this up to a brain fart if you want to) I was daydreaming on the way to work this morning and was thinking on how to make a speed calibration tape. The problem is that no matter what the speed of your deck if you record a 1KHz tone you will get that back. One needs to know the...

Sweetbeats and I will be working together on making a Howto for calibrating these Tascam DBX units. This thread should be the running commentary on that effort. Past modification is outlined in this thread: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?p=3189653#post3189653 I've made a web...

Hi All, My M520 is missing about 12 jumpers (or so, I'll have to count). Do you have any that you can spare? If so please PM me! Thanks --Ethan

headphone amp You are looking for a headphone amp like this: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/HC6/ Don't let the price scare you away. They go on eBay for around $100. I bought mine for $30 and fixed a few small problems. They are set up so that the master input signal goes to all...

I have head of Rane doing this but this is the first time that it has happened to me. I have an older Rane HC6 headphone amp with a bad pot in one of the channels. I wrote to Rane service to find out what it would cost for a replacement pot. I did not hear anything back from them for about a...
