TheAudioDude Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thanks, it's almost finished. Could do with making up some new wooden panels for the sides, I like the idea of a red ish wood but would have to do it in veneer over ply because of the shape and wanting grain on top, side and front.also need to paint the top but don't know what with yet Kenwood-9340 40watt RMS on Four channels has discrete decoding for quadradiscs and RM or SQ processing for awesome effect. It's so much better than home theater and could be cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kempy Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Sometimes off Trademe, I'm sourcing a load of new tape at the moment so I'll ask if CCC's are still available if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAudioDude Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yes please let me know. I need some decent tapes. I know that there's a place locally selling cheap maxell tapes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pusherman Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Were chrome tapes actually better? I just thaught it was a sales pitch. Havent actually listened to a tape in 15 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kempy Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Depends on the deck you had to record with really, if you had a machine that could handle type II tapes then they came into their own, especially with high frequency response, I always liked type IV or metal tapes, chrome tape always sounded a bit brittle or glassy to me, metal tapes sounded a bit more natural and better bass response. That said, I loved chrome tapes until I found metal tapes. Just my humble option though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAudioDude Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yip what he said. My Akai, Teac and Technics decks work really well on chrome and metal tapes. and once again it comes down to your machine and other equipment your using whether chrome or metal is better. I would be happy if i could get either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kempy Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'm setting up a bit of an analog system, at present 3 of the 4 Reel to Reels are hooked up but what I want to do is get the 2 otari's up to studio spec/alignment as a mate has a bunch of studio masters that the takes are starting to break down, so we want to make copies of them before they're lost. I'm also adding in normal cassette dubbing and 8 track copying/recording to make use of the old 8 track car players that are sitting around, off of this of course can be dubbed into a digital format or vise versa. On the far right there's a turntable as well. With a bit of luck I may have a new Reel to Reel that will replace one of the Revox decks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAudioDude Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Haven't had much time lately to do up things because I work 6 days a week, just been enjoying listening to my set up. But this is what I have managed to do. First is a pair of JVC SK-50's I got dirt cheap off TM. Like all good old speakers the rubber had deteriorated but this is easy to fix. Before After I have also got two mono valve amp chassis that I am going to rebuild for HiFi use, I was thinking twin KT-88 on the output 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
