    Do any of you guys know, from actually doing this, if it's necessary to pop open the bottom and then the top hood to effectively change the pinch roller OR is it possible to accomplish this task by removing that small panel, just above the transport buttons, held by those 2 strange silver...

    FS: Crown PZM 30D microphone

    Hi, I bought this mic new and used it only a handful of times. It remains in like new condition, very clean and works perfect. Several of the online music stores sell this particular model, new, for around $300 USD (plus tax). I'm asking $195, which, IMHO, is a very reasonable price...

    Any interest in a full track Revox head?

    I'm always on the fence whether or not to post (analogue related) stuff for sale here but, as many tape guys may not even see the ad (in the classified section), I thought I'd post a link: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=288545 Hope its OK.. :o

    I got a very low use playback head that came from a PR99 and was wondering if there is any interest? If not, I'll try eBay. Make me an offer in the mean time. Shipping is free.:)

    Ampex 631 / 641 tape - deciphering the specs

    OK, here's what I know.... It's a so called "voice grade" 185nanowebber red oxide tape, no backing, 1mil / 1.5mil tape, introduced in the 1950's (as far as I know) and I'm currently recording with it and really, really dig the tone. It's fairly limited in high / low frequencies and adds a...

    Monitoring / overdubbing with speakers

    Hi, I've noticed that overdubbing, while monitoring via speaker(s), is much easier for me, vocally, than it is using headphones. I'm just curious, for those of you who prefer this type of tracking, what you have found that works best as far as this setup is concerned. I'm particularly...

    Mic placement for tone control

    I wasn't sure if I should post this here or over in the "recording techniques" but bear with me, if you will.... I am aware of the impact mic placement has on frequencies and that back in the day, when engineers had limited EQ, mic choice and placement was used to control the tone. My question...

    FS / FT: Oktava MK-219 MK219 (needs minor fix?)

    Hi, I bought this thing some years back and used it maybe about a dozen times. All good, no problem but recently I've been getting intermittent signals. I plug and unplug it and it works perfectly so I'm not sure what it is. I've been told it may be as simple as cleaning the contacts or...

    Are you an analogue purist?

    Guys, I just found out that I'm a total purist when it comes to recording and to me it means all acoustic instruments with no processing whatsoever, no digital outboard anything [prior to burning to CD], like effects units and I'm even on the fence about compressors and dbx noise reduction...

    Cassette - which track is L and which is R ?

    Guys, just a quick question but I wanna be sure. On a typical consumer cassette deck [not a portastudio type] where you have to flip the tape over to record / playback the other side of the tape, which of the tracks on the rec head is the left one and which is right? Is the RIGHT track the one...
