so i bought this old echo reverb unit by Electra. model EP 250. this specific unit had been rebranded to the spanish market but afaik it is the same unit, made in japan ofcourse. theres bits and pieces of info around but not too much haha i would date it to early 1980. but im no expert...

Tascam 106 Mixer | eBay MIGHT be just too risky..sides looks to come in touch with water. also rusty around the inputs

So i got into analog recording in the past few months..i'm slowly learning it while doing my bachelor of sound engineering. I'm using both the tascam 234L and the akai mg614. Both are amazing pieces of gear. A question came in my mind while i was testing the sound of my recordings at...

How would u guys compare the 80' series such as 200's and 300's to the earlier models such as model 5 and 2?

Just looking for one..or maybe the 208. Gonna wait for a good bargain on ebay .

so maybe the way to go is to get the female connector too: http://media.digikey.com/photos/Tyco%20Photos/5173279-3.JPG then cut the cable, and rewire all of it to the new connector? man it's gonna be a pain in the ass job to do! :D edit: found this one in ebay: D-Sub 50 pin GPIB cable, both...

A new problem has merged. Amphenol say their cables are molded and glued and cannot be opened for rewiring. Maybe they do custom orders but im waitin for an answer about that. Any other options you might think of? Lol that would be frusrating to see this unit grounded because of a cable haha...

This is according to Amphenol's website: "aluminum mylar shielded 26 AWG data-grade wire". I guess it is thena

well i have contacted Amphenol and waitin' for an answer regarding shipping the cable outside the US. A local shop iv'e checked pricing the cable at 110$ (1 meter!). how ridiculous. if anyone got manuals for it i'll be glad to get it:) don't mind paying - iv'e checked StereoManuals and other...

There it is: he gave me also a TASCAM DA-30, old noise gate by bheringer and two cassette decks. those were in his garden during the last rainfall..man some people just don't have respect for these gems! at least the msr24s was in his house.. i was also given one ampex 456 and...

I don't have it at the moment. but this things exists somwhere online, so i gonna give a good search at the weekend !

will check on that cable too..thanks for the link! I better verify a few things with an electrician before i give it a go..a wrong cable is a good way to ruin it

Apparently the story is thatsomeone fled the country , and handed it over to his mate, the seller. who knows nothing about this machine. sounds like it coul'd have easily been lost during these hasty moments. LOL at least a machine with a romantic story.. well, for 70$ i can't really say no...

hey i got a chance to grab this old contreversial machine for 70 $ , no money! it seems real clean. but no way to test it, the cable between the power supply unit to the machine is missing. i researched a bit and it seems like the power unit itself provides different voltages to different parts...

I tried every way pretty much. recording with dbx, then play it with/without - murky, super-low freqs, no highs at all. sound better without tho. recording without dbx - then playing without dbx sounds good, dbx engaged - murky.

yup..thats the issue pretty much. when i engage the dbx switch on my tascam 234 it makes the recording murky as hell, drenched in low freqs, unusable in any way. maybe some calibration is needed?

from a german blog: "This is the low-speed version of the 234 syncaset. It has been designed to meet the need in various fields for equipment having extended tape playing time. The only difference between this model and the 234 syncaset is that the 234L's basic tape speed is 4.8 cm/sec. (1-7/8...

well, mistery solved, i got the 234L model. zero info on that sub-model tho do you think a mod to run it at double speed is possible? worth the hassle? cheers

hola My tascam 234 i got on ebay finally arrived today. Im a bit confused about it after testing it..iv'e got a few tapes i have recorded on my akai mg614 (on double speed). And as far as i know the 234 runs on double speed only.. it seems that the tascam plays it on regular speed :confused...

VERY Intresting. So it seems like the method of playing the music ("analog method") is much more appealing to people rather then the question if its "true" analog or not. Cheers guys for an intresting thread
