    The New Old Cartridge is Back!

    Good thing you stuck with the cartridge, Bob. Sometimes, it's best to work with what you have and know, than take a chance on a replacement. Nando.

    NAD 6300

    Yes - as quoted from Lutz: "Sankyo Direct drive = Nakamichi MR1 = CR 4 = CR 5 = CR 7 = BX 300 and so on.... " Nando.

    NAD 6300

    Besides a good tape path cleaning for the capstans and pinch rollers, it will be up to the technician to remedy the tape skew. When I get a "new" deck, my sacrificial tape for testing is a pre-recorded Michael Bolton - and it has lasted a long time. Damn! It's good to see your NAD 6300...

    Thorens TD-125 MKII rework

    Thanks for posting the progress on your Thorens turntable. I would have difficulty selling it with the custom work you've done on it. But a buyer would be proud to have a one-of-a-kind TD-125 MKII. Nando.

    @BlazeES: I hadn't used the CAR processor for recording. Tony - here is an explanation of the CAR processor from the OM: Nando.

    NAD 6300

    Using Dolby C and switching on the MPX filter was recommended during the bias fine tune process to assist in hearing any reponse errors caused by over or under-biasing. It was a long time since I used my NAD 6300 for recording, but most likely I used Dolby C with ferric cassettes.. Nando.

    NAD 6300

    @mr_rye89: Kyle, this NAD 3020 integrated amplifier is wonderful - I am glad I decided to have it repaired. It sat on a shelf for long time - like 16 years in non-working condition. It's cosmetically-challenged and it's rare for me to keep a component in that kind of condition. Yes, the NAD...

    NAD 6300

    I am sure that link to the bias adjustment is meant for internal adjustment on an open-reel deck (Sony TC-200) which has no user-adjustable bias control on the exterior of the deck. Nando.

    NAD 6300

    My NAD 6300 has never been serviced since I've owned it. So, after five years of being parked in a display case in the upstairs living room, today, I pulled it out of the cabinet for a demo session. I, already, had been using my NAD 616 dual-well deck and NAD 3020 integrated amplifier for the...

    NAD 6300

    Well, it's tape-dependent, too. Any true chrome Type II tapes in many decks will not record well if you exceed 0dB peak input level. But, the NAD 6300 seems to record best at the maximum levels I suggested. On my Pioneer CT-A9X, I can record to +4 dB to +6dB using a good Type IV cassette, such...

    NAD 6300

    You will get better results by keeping your peak recording input levels at 0 to +2dB. You will avoid tape saturation. Also, leave the CAR processor off, if you intend to use the recorded tape for home use. Nando.

    NAD 6300

    It has been a long time since I last used my NAD 6300 - like more than five years ago. I may pull it off the shelf and get it back into circulation. An old cell phone video: Nando.

    NAD 6300

    Here is a start, if you don't plan to use additional equipment such as a tone generator, external meter, etc. 1) Load the selected cassette into the recorder and fast-wind the tape forward for a few seconds to get past the blank leader tape at the beginning. 2) Set the Play Trim control to...

    Wilsdon Bros WEB speakers

    I have four pairs of WEB speakers. The last pair I got was back in 2022 and I bought them in a bulk vintage audio purchase from the original owner. He had the grille fabric changed some time ago - funky, but not my style. I haven't tried them, yet, but he attests they were good speakers. And...

    Wilsdon Bros WEB speakers

    Welcome to our forum, beaker. There's not much dedicated history on the WEB speaker line-up. I haven't seen Series A speakers, before. Where do you reside? That's a whole lot of Nakamichi goodness. Nando.

    Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas to all the members and their families! Here is a Christmas mix tape I recorded a few years back. It is the digital recording of the actual mix tape and not the Master - a virtual mix tape. Tapeheads-Christmas-mixtape-5A.flac Tapeheads-Christmas-mixtape-5B.flac Nando.
