Is it possible to flag the ad for a description like that? Pretty sure that isn't allowed on eBay.

I don't get it...

Wow - that really blows! :silent: Even though Philips aren't generally considered good-quality tapes, it's a shame that any sealed blank is stored in conditions like that. You'd think that someone who was selling them to you, of all people, would know better...

Funny you should mention that - I just got a prom date with one on Saturday... Welcome, to my fellow Tapeheads who've joined Phoenix. The more, the merrier.

Welcome, Perry!

Any updates on this...?

Color me (no pun intended) jealous! I'd love to have any Blues Magoos wax, but sadly I'm still on the hunt for it.

Might want to send him some mouse traps as well. You know, in case a couple of the mice get away...:mrgreen:

Received your PM! Can't wait to see what cassettes you have in stock. I am a bit of a cheapskate (hence why I have 5 times more used cassettes than sealed cassettes)...

Never received a PM back from you...

What blank cassettes does the seller have left?

I gave my sister an AII as part of a mini-stereo system for her apartment. It had an Empire 880P on it. Replaced the stylus (with the 880P, you have to slide it diagonally through the front of the cart!) and it was good to go. It takes a few seconds to get warmed up to full speed, and the...

I listened to a tape made on the JVC on a completely separate deck, a Nak RX-202. The pitch was actually spot-on. As far as I know, the Nak's speed is spot-on, as tapes recorded on that deck sound fine on other decks. Can't find the test tape I made with the Sony, but I've played back other...

I've recorded tapes on the Sony from, for example, Winamp. I've then listened to it in playback and determined that it is exactly the same speed as the source.

I've compared tapes recorded on the Sony to the original source, and there is no change in speed.

What I did was take two new blank tapes, record the same thing on each of them (from a vinyl source) using a Sony reference deck, and then tested the two decks to compare how they sounded upon playback. The JVC seemed to shift the pitch up a bit, whereas the Sony sounded fine in terms of speed.

I haven't adjusted them, because they've been out of the system for a while. Perhaps I'll hook them up elsewhere and do some work on them. Apparently AR-4Xs have a recurring issue where the bias pots cause the tweeter to disengage.
