Full Range Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) I am about to start a 10.5". R2R music collection as I currently only have 7" reels at present Just scored a Sony 10.5" spool on eBay ( Woo Hoo) At first I plan to purchase some brand new RMGI 10.5" X 1/4" tape, and record my favourite music on them Still need to purchase a set of sexy metal Nab adapters and I will be ready to go Still would be interested in a reference tape for calibration purposes Edited June 30, 2013 by Full Range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Good Vibe Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 FR the callibration tapes are just exactly that you must have a nice setup to use them in your workshop. Might get around to that but way easier to get Surg to do it. Rather spend the dollars on studio taps the quality is well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwheel Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) If anyone is interested in a group buying tapes from overseas, we could combine our orders to reduce shipping costs. I am currently considering buying some tapes from UltraAnalogue and Master Tape Sound Lab's. Edited July 1, 2013 by Bigwheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woadl Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Sorry, I was thinking of new blank tape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Good Vibe Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Not a bad idea tho woadi what sort of blank we talking , we could buy pancakes and reel out what we want or complete reels at what size you need. What brand do we mostly use RMG or ????????? for calibration . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woadl Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Not too sure of the brand but I would be after some 10.5" 1/4 inch tape. I do have some blank reels I'm new to this so would be guided by what people have found to be good At the moment I have an Akai GX 635D an Akai GX 636 and a Teac A 4430S thats in mint condition but what I would like to end up with is a Technics 1500.....so if anyone out here has one just sitting ?

Bigwheel Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Woadl funny you should ask. There might be a Technics RS1500 available. I know of one that a friend has for sale. in very good condition. PM me if your interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwheel Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Interesting article in Positive Feedback on some recent tape releases. http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue68/tape.htm The refurbished Technics has arrived and I will be interested to play the UltraAnalogue tape and possibly get a few others from time to time, and as finances allow.
