    Where did the Tascam History Page go?

    Does anyone know where that page is that has the history of Teac/Tascam released products. I thought it was on the tascam website but now I can't seem to find it. It ran down by the years what was released. Did they take it down?

    question about preamp direct to tape

    I have two preamps I'm running directly out of to the back of a Tascam 38. A UA 610 solo and Trident 4t. They both sound great like this except one problem, the UA seems to track a little hissy I wind up with quite a bit of air on top, though the fatness and richness of going direct is obvious...

    DIY rack space comp desk

    I made this space rack, computer desk thing a while back. I thought I'd share. That's a little sliding shelf for keyboard drum machine, whatever. I used oak veneer panels and I used the oak veneer strips for the edges. Very happy with it. :)

    Effects Of Overbiasing

    I'm wondering how the bias effects the overall playback/record on tape. On the 38 you're supposed to turn the bias screw clockwise until the meter drops about 5db below the peak meter reading. So, what happens if you let if drop a few db less or a few db more? I'm trying to see what other...

    Oiling The Capstan

    I got a few seconds of squeaky action going on in the capstan the other day. I'm just wondering the best way to oil it before it gets any worse. Unfortunately I have to take it back apart again, but I want to make sure I use the right stuff in the right spot and not too much. Is the radio shack...
