    Gary: I bought the Dual CS-701 from a friend - Keith - back in early 2022. In fact, I bought a huge amount of his gear because he was moving from Squamish to Prince George and he had to downsize. He had since passed away in February of 2023. But Nick at The Turntable Shop, serviced the Dual for...

    @Bob Boyer: No tape calibration, no bias fine tuning - only tape type selector. That won't deter me from trying to get a good recording out of it. Nando.

    SRV On Pre-recorded Cassette Pulled the Marantz SD-9000 out of storage, as in a couple of weeks I plan to do a mix tape exchange with a recording done at 2X-speed or 3.75 i.p.s.. The likely deck to use would be my Teac C-3X, as the Marantz has no tape calibration, bias fine tuning - just tape...

    OCD OCI

    The discrepancy of what the crankcase holds according to the manufacturer's spec and the 1/2 litre extra you got from pumping from the dipstick may be what's held in the oil filter, if the filter housing or filter doesn't have a functioning anti-drain back valve. Also, by not using the drain...

    Murder!!! a type IV tape killed it! They're killers...all of them. Murderrrrrrr!

    The moderator on that forum: How is he sure the decks being brought in for service and had accelerated head wear were from customers/clients who exclusively used Type IV cassettes? It wouldn't take much time for a number of playbacks with a few select Type II cassettes that had a coarse...

    Basic, premium type I and accuracy

    @vince666: That's a good explanation. The manufacturer would sometimes display such information on the wrapper to distinguish the tape characteristics from other models within the same tape type. This is an example of the Sony HF-S compared to the Sony HF: Nando.

    PL7000S2

    Nothing wrong in not rushing it, George. This has been a great project to follow. Yes - there is the ad that appeared in most audio magazines of the time (1978) pitting the Pioneer CT-F1000 against the Nakamichi 1000II. Nando.
