    Otari MX-5050 Review (Reel to Reel Tape Deck)

    AEA ribbons, nice - I think I have a mic pre that will work well with them. This thread has evolved from ASR to Gas Alley for me...lol. :p

    Hehe. :) I suppose it'll have to be FLEA 49's, then!

    Otari MX-5050 Review (Reel to Reel Tape Deck)

    I know it's crazy! Actually, when I got into it, I was most interested in direct-to-2 track, analog recording of acoustic performances, applying minimal mic techniques. See where it's lead me!! My friend and Studer tech extraordinaire, Charlie Bolois, encouraged me to be the next Wally...

    Otari MX-5050 Review (Reel to Reel Tape Deck)

    How gorgeous! I have a sorted Studer 962. ASR's review of the Neumann KH 310 A contributed significantly to its recent acquisition. I've been perusing the 962 and 310 manuals. Thomann will be delivering K&M monitor stands and bearing plates later today and Reverb should be delivering a...

    Fascinating...this arouses my curiosity about EMI. Same EMI as the record label?

    Otari MX-5050 Review (Reel to Reel Tape Deck)

    I'll have to research EMI decks. Studer A80s I have read about and a friend has an A80RC. I only have direct experience with A820's and to a much lesser extent, A810.

    Youtube is running ads against my channel :(

    Just viewed an ASR video on an Audioquest cable and it has motivated me to attempt scrutiny of some of my cables. Maybe, I can put my R&S UPV to use and learn some things!

    Otari MX-5050 Review (Reel to Reel Tape Deck)

    The ability to record in a smaller setting, e.g., project studio, enabled more than a few, whom otherwise would not book studio time, to get their projects completed. I imagine much may have been learned in the process. If you don't mind my asking...where was your studio? Was it a going...

    Otari MX-5050 Review (Reel to Reel Tape Deck)

    Interesting. Off topic, but I would be interested in learning more about the nexus between engineer (tracking, mixing, and mastering), producer, and musician from the analog era to current In-The-Box production. A discussion for another thread, perhaps.

    Otari MX-5050 Review (Reel to Reel Tape Deck)

    Thanks, Amir, for the review! To obtain optimal record/repro performance requires attention, if not devotion. The reel-to-reel device applies mechanical, electrical, and magnetic principles...I love it!
