Easy-out ... The head from JFR seems fine. What Im saying is that I have barely used it and even then it was only messing around. Nothing serious. I do have everything "the extras" I mentioned and also I have the receipt and piece of paperwork they give you for the new head at JFR.

I am considering selling my baby. I have thought about this for a while now. Im gonna sell my TSR-8... eventually. So I actually have no idea what a fully functional TSR-8 is worth. Its got a brand new record head with maybe 5-7 hours of use maximum. Bought at JFR Magnetics. It has the full...

OK, I just wanted to hear it from someone who knew what they were talking about. Im gonna try what you said tomorrow... Thanks

If I clip the probes to the ends of RCA cables plugged into the outputs do I need to worry about how they are clipped? In other words, do I need to clip only to the tip of the rca end without touching the ring or sleeve of the RCA end? And what about the ground connectors from the probes? Do...

I recently bought a Hantek DSO5072P Scope to use for aligning the heads on my Tascam TSR-8 tape machine. In my manual it just says to connect the outputs (2 & 7) to the scope. But Im confused if I just try to clip the probes right to the female rca plugs on the back of the TSR-8 or should I...

I have been scouring the interwebs looking for a video or a tutorial on how to properly disassemble a Tascam M-1600 mixer for cleaning. Im sure you're thinking, just start taking screws out and go from there... Well, I want to know if I should be trying to take the top panel off, or if its...

THanks Sweetbeats... Thats good advice. Ill try that.

I'm thinking finding one of these might be harder than I thought...

When it comes to getting a D-sub cable for the connection to a Tascam TSR-8 I should use a 25-pin d-sub but what about the other end? I only am hooking up to a 8 track machine. If I get a 25 pin d-sub on one end and just 8 rca’s on the other how do I know that the 8 rca’s are wired to the...

Would I be able to use something like an Apollo 8 or 8x and its preamps as a replacement preamp module for the Mixer when recording to tape and then the bonus would be that I could also use the Apollo 8x for digital recording? Obviously not at the same time but separately...

Miroslav, yeah I probably dont need 8 preamps at once except for when I want to do drums and a rhythm instrument. I know that decent preamps can start to get pricey. Especially, the more you want. And I do like the mixer. But the 1-8 XLR preamps I have tried out seem very thin and low...

Just like the title of this thread says... I want to know what is the best way to upgrade the 8-Xlr preamps to something better. Is there any kind of Mod I can do? Or can I recapp the preamp Capacitors? Or am I just best off to just buy a separate 8 channel preamp unit to just bypass the...

Well let me at least start out by asking if I got a good deal or not. The Unit itself appears to be in Excellent cosmetic shape. Everything I have tested seems to work so far. It came with the real manual and also a HEavy Duty Roadcase. So was it a good deal?

Hey guys, I recently bought a Tascam M-1600 for $200.00 But it did not have the M-1616 meter bridge. So Im hoping I can find someone on here who has one laying around... Thanks Merry Christmas!!

ok, then Im gonna ask even tho I know there can be a wide variety of answers. But does the price he's asking seem reasonable? From the Pics he posted the mixer seems very clean looking so hopefully thats a representative of how it was taken care of and how it should be on the inside. Also, I...

Strryder... That Tascam M-1600 you posted links for looked pretty clean and in good shape. Just a quick question since I havent really been looking at that model until recently, it doesnt need a separate Power Supply Unit like some of the other Tascam mixers does it? I see a lot of them for...

So can anybody give me 2-3 options for a NEW mixer that can do most of the things that a Tascam M-2516 or M-1600. Hopefully any recommendations would have Direct Outs on each channel. Right? thats something that are a plus or are standard in an "Analog" recording console??? It seems if I...

I guess I could edit the title and add that I would also be open to a Tascam M-1600.

I figured I would finally get around to putting a "Looking For" thread up for the mixer I am after. So, like the Title says, I am looking for a "Gently Used" or "New in the Box" Tascam M-2516. Actually the "New in the Box" is just a joke... Unless someone actually has been sitting on one for...

I didnt intend to sidetrack my thread with the Toft mention, but it has been the subject of my dreams for a while. Yes, I agree it is over-priced. And I too have heard reviews about some of the problems mentioned. But just its overall aesthetic. The clean and overall simple layout. The...
