I went to cassettes after a nasty experience with a Wollensak R2R, and never looked back. Anyway, welcome!

You know, cassettes are just a small reel to reel enclosed in a case, right? Wollensak are crap. Get a serviced TEAC, Revox, or Pioneer or something like that and you'll love it.

I only have Sony decks now, all 10" except for a TC-558. 2 ea. 755, 1 ea. 756, 2 ea. 758 auto reverse, 1 ea. 765, 1 ea. 766-2 Half track. I got rid of my two 580's, a long with all my Pioneer gear except an SX-1080 (completely rebuilt by Pacific Stereo). My Teac's R2R's 2 ea. A6300 & 2 ea. A4300 and a 2340 went to members on Tapeheads a long with a lot of the Pioneer equipment and a Marantz rack system plus some other miscellanist equipment.

I got hooked on R2R's in 1971 when a friend of mine was discharged from the army and he came home with 2 R2R.s, and I never looked back.

I'm the one that harvests stuff off the hard drives of the old computers I find and I have a ton of media files and such from that...although finding Baby Beethoven and misogynistic rap on the same girls' computer is really strange (thank goodness her hubby's er FILMS, weren't readable).
 
Dadeville Alabama , come thru there two times a year for my family reunion. From down Phenix City way here. Welcome Ryan
 
A good compliment of system components, Ryan. Interesting to hear of your musical background. Best of luck with your musical project debut. Was your Sony deck a TC-K555ESJ? Most of my time is spent with cassette than any other format.

I removed the trim rings because there is a rubber o-ring retainer on each of the trim rings that deteriorates and causes the bezels to come loose. I have to find the proper size o-rings to retain the bezels and replace them all later on.

Did you see the guy from Australia who has those o-rings? The name of his company is like Nagravox
 
No I haven't, but I will check it out. Thanks Perry.

Hi there! Merry Christmas! Sorry I've been off here for a while. Yes, my deck is a TC-K555ESJ.
Thanks,
Ryan
 
That's a great deck. Those suffix letters at the end of the model # make a big difference in performance. I assume you have to use a step-down transformer for its 100 V power input? I purchased a nice Sony DTC-1000ES DAT recorder, which is also a Japan-only version, requiring a step-down transformer. Got it for my birthday two weeks ago for $100.

Yes, Marco, I have three pairs of the vintage 600 ohm, Made In Austria, K 240s. One pair are Sextett models. I have a modern version of the AKG K 240 MK II models, I use for my Walkmans.

I have also have a Koss Esp9 ( powerered by a fet amp by A 207 R Pioneer ),
and a Sennheiser HD 414 .
ESP 9 has a design issue ( little hum ia AC position )
The solution is to replace the power supply , but it's too complicated .
Better to use SE position .
HD 414 is a good " measure instrument " . Due to its very high sensitity you
can hear every little issue such noise , buzz , hum and so on .
Good for perfect set up and good sound .
