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

Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

Thanks to all who offered such helpful advice. The problem was with the tape I was using. I had some AMPEX 407 audio mastering tape, and it was shedding so dramatically the heads would be coated in just a few feet. I had cleaned and the heads and the problem didnâ€™t go away. I never expected the heads to get contaminated that quickly so I didnâ€™t check it again. When I took it to my Tech friend, he noticed the dirty heads right away. We cleaned and demagnetized the heads again. I took the deck back home.
This morning I loaded a brand new reel of Quantegy Grand Master 456 tape, and the deck records and plays back perfectly in both channels and in both directions. From now on, it's new high quality tape for me, and nothing else!
