Re: TEAC X-10r low recording level It's fixed!

Dave,

I took a look at your site. Very interesting! I like your choice of links. One more you might add is a link to the CIA World Fact Book.

On baking the tapes: The tapes contain no data of interest to me. I was only using them for recording. When I come across a never before played LP I like to clean it well and record it onto open reel tape. I play the tape and save the record.

For this reason I see no point in baking the old tape.

I have been using new (recent production) Quantegy 456 Grand Master Studio Master Audio Tape on 1/4 X 7 inch reels for recording my LPs. I've been operating under the illusion (?) that these tapes are not prone to sticky shed problems. Is this not true?

I was about to order a case of 10 Quantegy 456 1/4 X 10.5 inch pancakes to replace the tape on my metal spools. Perhaps this is not such a good idea. What do you recommend? Is there another brand or Quantegy model of tape that does not shed?

Also, I have a Tascam 40-4 deck in good working condition. I would like to use it to record some of the local folk musicians here in Madison, WI (on a very informal basis). What tape do you recommend for this purpose?

Jim
