Wow. That would have been a fantastically expensive piece of kit when it was new. Given the revival of interest in reel to reel recording it's probably still worth a packet even today.
im not sure why you are playing a tape that has already been recorded by tape to showcase the abilities of this machine. please record something from scratch so we can hear the true capabilities of this device. thank you.
Tuve el honor de estar allí. Este fue el punto más alto del show. Hermosa noche junto a los geniales Genetics y el maestro Hackett recreando el mejor álbum en vivo de todos los tiempos. Génesis no murió .... Se reencarnó en Genetics.
Lo que no icieron Peter Gabriel y Phill Collins de seguir el legado de GENESIS lo hizo uno de los integrantes que se retiró despés de la primera Etapa verdaderamente Sinfónica y Progresiva del Grupo. Steve Hackett....mis respetos para él...y Gloria para Génesis mi grupo preferido de rock progresivo...seguido de Pink Floyd y King Crimson.....como ellos ningunos!!!!
De hecho steve es el único que sigue tocando y con un nivel intacto. Los demás, Peter, Tony, Mike y phil, pobre que está hecho mierda, ya se jubilaron y ya no les da el cuero para tocar estos temas.
Thank you! He is an extraordinary musician from Argentina. I really recommend his records. Invierno En Paris by Raul Barboza (2010-01-12) www.amazon.com/dp/B01G4DZMM2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5JzxFbNFXYK62
VERY nice Claudio! May I ask what was the original source? Hi-Res FLAC or something analogue? Also was it recorded on this machine that's doing the playback (presumably) Thanks in advance!
Let There Be Sound! Thank you! I have recorded the tape in this machine. The source is a 24 bits version I bought from HD Tracks and played thru a Lavry DA converter. All the best!
@@clowtanne I'm on HDtracks website and can only find 16bit/44 versions. (same as a regular CD). :( How did you get a 24bit version and what was the sampling rate?
@@cl9826 nWb is short for nanoWebers, a measure of magnetic flux strength. In reference to tape recorder calibration, the term nWb/M, or nanoWebers per meter, is used to specify the strength of the magnetic field stored on the tape when the meters read 0VU (standard record level). A higher level (more nWb) gives a higher signal-to-noise ratio, meaning less tape hiss, but push the level too high and you get distortion.
Probably, but I set the bias calibration for RMG900 tape and this tape has a lot of headroom even at 3 1/2. But there is a drawback anyway. 250nW/m is always high for a 4 tracks recorder due to crosstalk in adyacent tracks.
@@claudiolowtanne4512 Thanks for your response. I calibrated my Akai GX-625 with 200nWb level. Regarding bias calibration, did you calibrate the bias according to the tape manufacturer or how does Akai report in the manual service? My experience with the LPR-35 showed that calibrating the bias according to the orientation of the RGM for LPR-35 (overbias of 0.5db in 7 1/2) resulted in the need to change in the EQ Record due to the gain of high frequencies generated by these modern formulation tapes.
