Stiring the pot

If you want to run something hotter than 456 look around for the bias mod on this BBS. You will be able to set the bias for +9 tapes.

Yes, he said he had the heads done. But I don't think that will overcome the age of the electronics. You can bet 1K will be 0 error. 2 will be close to zero. 500 will be almost zero. 100 will start the head bump smiley face. 16 K will look like the unsmiley face. The machine could be nearly 23 or more years old. +or- 2 was the original brand new spec. + or -3 is still pretty darn good, I think. But, to each his own.

If the machine meters are used to calibrate the eq, a looser spec range is guaranteed. Tascam meters are notoriously frequency sensitive and can't be trusted on either side of 1Khz. The only unit that I know for certain they made without frequency weighting was the MB-20.
