OK - I guess I'll just blurt this out...
I just got a new Tascam 112mkII recently to do cassette-to-digital transfers and really don't want to fiddle around with the alignment screw for a number of reasons.
Can we discuss the virtues of physical (fix it at the source) vs digital (repair it after the fact) azimuth alignment?
I'm assuming an azimuth problem creates a situation between the left/right stereo tracks that results in a phase problem caused by one or the other tracks passing by the play head a little later in time than the other. If that's the case then, instead of poking a screwdriver into my new cassette deck, I can fix the time alignment using something like this, yes?
