Re: Eliminating audio tape squeal
A good start would be to clean all of the surfaces that come in contact with the tape including the pinch roller, capstan, and playback and recording heads. Failing that it is: Tape Baking When magnetic recording tapes are being stored, moisture is slowly absorbed by the binder that holds the components of the tape together. Affected tapes will squeak when played back. The squeaking can be heard directly from the tape passing over the playback head and other fixed parts of the player, but is also transmitted electronically through the playback head. Often the tape will also sound dull and distorted. If you hear a tape that is squeaking, stop playing the tape immediately. Continuing to play a squeaking tape can cause permanent damage to the tape, and in some cases damage to the player. This problem can happen to any tape, but is more common in tapes manufactured after the mid 1970s in the USA. The solution to the problem of squeaking tapes is to bake the tapes at very low temperature in an oven. There are as many different opinions about optimum temperature and duration of baking as there are audio engineers. Certainly, do not attempt to bake your own tapes unless you can be certain that the temperature in your oven will not exceed 60 degrees Celsius CD ROM Services Pty Ltd offers a tape baking service, and although we have successfully baked well over a hundred tapes, and haven't damaged one, we will take all care in baking your tapes, but cannot take responsibility for accidental damage.

Re: portable stereo system that I can plug in to my computer?
High Randy, There is a turntable that you can plug in to your computer. There are a coppal that I know about. One of them is a Newmark which connects to your computer via a USB connection. I don't have the direct address for the manufacturer, but I got mine from: http://www.americanmusical.com Someone told me that SONY has them too as well. You can look it up at: http://www.sony.com The first one that I manchened above comes with Ordassity software, it also has an 1.8 ench jack which lets you plug a casset player in to it to put your casset tapes on cd too as well. Check it out and see if this unit will serve your needs. - Original Message - From: "Randy Tijerina" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

High Randy, Yes you can, you don't even have to have it hooked up to your computer to listen to it if you don't want to listen to it that way.

Re: audio cassette squeel problem
The professional Revox cassette recorder/player that you are looking for is probably the model 710 . tech info. Cassette Recorder Manufacturers Please note that we only list hi-fi recorders here and in most cases only recorders. Personal stereos are not listed unless they have a recording facility of a reasonable quality. Denon The Denon range of consumer decks has just been augmented with the introduction of 2 new decks, namely the DRM-595 (text in German) which is an update of the much beloved 555 and only slightly more expensive, the DRW-695 (text in German) dual deck is similarly an updated version of the 585, the older models however remain available at slightly lowered prices more info on the DRM-555 here, it's an affordable single deck has Dolby B, C and HX Pro, bias adjust, MPX filter, auto tape sensing and CD synchronisation , the DRW-585 is a dual deck with very similar technical specifications and features as the 555 but slightly worse audio specs, all of the above decks are auto-reverse n.b. and are much beloved by the British Hi-fi press. The 585 and the 555 is also available as DRW-585P and DRM-555P respectively, the only difference between the P versions and the domestic models appear to be that you can get a rack mount kit for the P version. Denon also has a range of cassette decks as optional choices for their range of style systems, such as the DRR-M30 for the M-30 and M-50 style systems and the DRR-M31 for the M31 system (the same unit as the DRR-M30 but with a different colour on the front plate), and the DRR-F101 for the F-101 style system (again same recorder, this time in a different box), all of these are horizontally loaded auto-reverse decks that have a fairly basic specification. The DDR-201SA that goes with the 201SA style system and the DDR-F100 that mates with the F-100 style system are again the same recorder with different facades but have both a better audio specification and added features in respect the the three mentioned above, such as Dolby B, C and HX Pro (the other decks have only B). Harman Kardon The company only has one deck in their catalogue, a dual one called DC-520 but that is actually a fairly well specified and reasonably good sounding deck, has Dolby B, C and HX Pro amongst other features and looks remarkably similar to an Hatai. JVC Make 2 dual auto reverse decks that actually are rather good for the price, the more expensive one retails for around USD 200 and is called TDW-354BK and has very generous features for the price such as automatic calibration and tape selection and unusually for a consumer deck, a pitch control, very useful feature if you are playing back tapes recorded on a dodgy old deck, and of course it features the more usual Dolby B, Dolby C and Dolby HX Pro. The more budget TDW-254BK has all the same features as it's big brother with the exception of automatic calibration. The Japanese market also gets the TD-W313 MkII deck (page in Japanese), this is a slightly newer design than the other 2 as it was introduced in 2001 but I cannot find any English page on it. Kenwood The contraction of the audio market has hurt the Kenwood company harder than most others, in the UK the company has exited the audio and AV markets altogether and in America and Asia they have for the most part exited the hi-fi separates market, that leaves mainland Europe as the only place were you will find cassette recorders from the company, the KXF-W1030 is a basic dual deck that actually may be out on it's way as well. Additionally the company makes 2 decks as optional components for their mini/style systems, the systems, the S-SG7 is unusually well specified for such as deck it features Dolby B, C and HX Pro and auto reverse while the stunning X-VH7 is slightly more basic technically and offers only Dolby B and C. Marantz As with so many other manufacturers Marantz has not had a lot of home hi-fi recorders recently in their line up, currently it's only the SD4050 dual deck that the company offers, mind you that is however a rather well specified deck with Dolby B, C and HX Pro etc. . Onkyo Has quite a line-up of recorders, but they can be a bit difficult to find on their homepage, but it includes the TA-6211 model that sports Dolby B, C and HX Pro, manual bias calibration & an MPX filter amongst it's features. There is also the dual TA-RW244 deck, it has Dolby B and C etc., and to mate with their mini systems are the K-505TX that sports Dolby B and C in addition to the usual and the K-505X that adds auto reverse and Dolby HX Pro. Pioneer This is the only company that seems to be spending any money on consumer hi-fi cassette deck development these days and as such should be your first port of call when shopping for a new recorder. Note that there is no model from the company with Dolby S that is because the company's Digi

Wireless transmitter
Hi Can anyone suggest a good quality robust wireless transmitter? I bought 2 small fairly inexpensive wireless transmitters recently (now legal in UK) to 1. tTake sound from my computer's soundcard and broadcast this into the fm band of my new Sony DVD player 5.1 system. 2. To broadcast Sky from the box throughout my house for each VHF radio to pick up. (Both transmitters are at different buildings) I probably got what I paid for. Both transmitters do work but sometimes slightly distorted, suggesting not a strong enough range. There is also a fairly strong hum in the background, I hasten to add which is not in the original. I'm looking for something which gives good quality, as good as normal sound on VHF. Any suggestions from your own experience? Thanks.

Re: Revox cassette recorder
Hi Bob. Here's a question: If everyone gives up CD's and tapes for a harddrive, if you put all your stored music on it from many years of listening, what if the drive crashes, and then you lose everything you have, short of copying to another harddrive recording system? - Original Message - From: "Bob Seed" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: Revox cassette recorder
There's no such thing as an indestructable storage medium. I'd call a hard drive one of the least-trustworthy of the media, but ultimately nthe safest backup method is one that involves duplicity.
