    What Fluke Multimeter should I get?

    Hey, sorry it isn't the answer you're looking for but I just today got a new multimeter. It's an Amprobe AM-270. I got it off Amazon for $77 shipped although other websites sell them for as much as $110. I will be putting it through its paces this week but I can tell you it's a True RMS...

    Mike Spitz has died

    Just learned that Mike Spitz of ATR Magnetics has passed from cancer. I had no idea he suffered from it. Naturally curious what it means for ATR but I digress, thought I'd pass it on here as a relevant piece of news to the forum. Although I had some issues with his tape, he was always a nice...

    US Recording Media: Seriously? LOL

    I gave up on US Recording Media after they explained to me that they didn't--and wouldn't--carry RMGI's SM900 1/4" in standard 10.5" metal reels because they said the boxes were unbranded and their customers wouldn't like that. Um...what???? :confused: So instead I got some from Full Compass...

    LAST 2 HEAD SHOTS (with paper trick)

    Doesn't look like they're opening up, certainly could be worse, why don't you send the pics to John Austin at Sprague Magnetics, see what he has to say and get a quote for relap. He did a fine job on my MCI's heads, reasonable price and very nice guy to deal with. I'd consider the rolls of 456...

    New Quantegy Tape

    I'll believe that when I see it with mine own eyes. If it's indeed true, I sure hope ATR doesn't ruin it. NOS GP9 runs great on my MCI machines. ATR, on the other hand, has consistently been a shedding nightmare.

    What's the weakest link in our recording chain?

    You're missing a decent large diaphragm dynamic mic (vocals, acoutsic instruments etc), on a tight budget I would recommend an Audio Technica 4033 or something from that line, good sounding workhorse mics. MRL test tapes are essential for keeping you tape machines aligned, definitely order...

    Head wear life remaining assessment for Teac A3440 -

    There's some wear there for sure. For a definitive answer you could contact John Austin at Sprague Magnetics or John French at JRF Magnetics, they could tell you whether they do those heads and weather it's worth sending them in for eval/contouring.

    These things are GGGGGGGGGGGGREAT!!!

    ...although of course you have to take care going unbal to balanced as with anything else. With the Distressors it mostly just meant cranking the input up more, or you can patch the source inline on the way to the console's balanced inputs instead of inserting and stay +4bal.

    Anyone else see this???....

    There's still so much old stock out there, the trick is finding it. I Got a stash of TDK SAs and some of their lower grade typIIs for cheap at my local downtown hardware store, they'd been sitting there since the mid 90s, marked down to mid 90s clearance prices no less. Found some Maxell XLIIs...
