Great to see everyone jumping in on this thread and expressing their feelings. Beck, I respect your feelings in regard to this issue. I would like to add a little more info in regard to the bad batch(s) of RMGI. The tech rep I spoke with told me they involved only the 900 formula and they...

Recently there has been a lot of posts on various recording forums in regard to RMGI tape with shedding problems. I thought my recent experience would be good info to pass along so here goes. Back in February I acquired a well used Tascam MS16 and after a lot of re-furb work (cleaning...

The last few reels of 1/2 inch EMTEC 911 I purchased before they went bust also had a plastic strap with velcro on the ends. This strap (band) went around the reel to hold the tape in place for storage. I kinda liked that idea better then using some hold down tape. I don't know if EMTEC also put...

According to the manual that comes with the NS-10m's they are designed to sit horizontally with the tweeters to the outside. That's why the name and model is written that way and you can see one is intended to be the left speaker and the other the right speaker. A lot of people choose to mount...

Pappy999, In regard to how hard you should hit the tape keep in mind the internal dbx can mis-track if the levels are too hot. This is especially true on low frequencies. A lot of users dis the Tascam dbx saying it muddies up the sound but I think a lot of that comes from not setting levels...

troutmask, Just realized you were inquiring about the dolby"s" version :) I have not had any experience with the dolby version but I'm sure it is a quality machine certainly capable of excellent recordings. The only thing I have often read about in other post's from "s" version owners is it...

troutmask, I have also used an MSR16 for years and never had any crosstalk issues. One thing to keep in mind is many folks who are new to analog believe slamming the levels to tape is the holy grail of "that sound". The msr,tsr and even ms16 series of machines with their internal dbx were...

I can only comment on the Sans Amp bass driver DI which I have available in my studio for clients to use. Everyone seems to like it. The only thing I have found is if the clients bass has active electronics he has to be careful not to overdrive the Sans Amp. This is usually just a matter of them...

I recently purchased an ms-16 and I will be going to pick it up in a couple of days. Can someone tell me how involved is it to dismantle for moving ? Basically I would at least like to remove the transport from the tascam stand its in to make it easier to move. The stand has some orange knobs on...

:) Thanks Very Much !

Yes, They do excellent work at a fair and reasonable price. The owners name is Russ and he has worked on my MSR16 and also a cassette deck I owned years ago. Good Luck, Dave

skaboosh, I don't see Fostex stuff on this site but perhaps these folks can hook you up with a generic ? Good Luck, Dave http://www.vintage-electronics.cc

Taperocket, Congatulations on your 22-2 ! I have a model 32 which I use with a dbx-150 unit so possibly I can offer some suggestions on calibration. My dbx-150 has an x after the model number (not sure if there's different versions out there). Assuming your using some kind of mixer in your...

Have you ever seen an MS16 configured this way with the meter bridge above the transport ? Looks pretty cool, Perhaps someone just did a customize job on this one ? When you are doing calibration on the channel cards where are they physically located ? Is access easy ? Thanks in advance, I been...

Seeker of Rock, After thinking about my previous post I believe the dbx cicuitry is divided up with two channels per card not eight. Sorry about that ! Not sure how the S version was laid out. Regards, Dave

Seeker of Rock, Sorry to hear your having problems with your MSR-16. I've had the dbx version for a few years now and it has been solid since taking care of some initial problems that showed up after I purchased it. (second owner) I had to replace all the rubber,have the head re-lapped and...
