Beauty!
 
Everything Wardsweb touches becomes a beauty.
 
Good morning Wardsweb,

I forgot to ask if you are using an outboard tape head playback pre amp. If you are, do you use 40, 50 or 60dB? Depending on which setting you use, do you get plenty of volume with your Tascam BR-20? I ask because the Tascam 42B use the same tape heads. Thanks much.

i use an SUT in the meantime I get new heads for mine.
 
There is some good stuff out there. Maybe not at good as the high end like Tape Project and Opus, but they don't carry the high price either. As for live stuff, that is hard to beat when mic'd well with a good machine. My buddy records jazz and classical at Trinity University on a Nagra. They are some pretty wicked tapes.

OK... how to aquire .... ? After looking at your pic, i need to update my tired unit too .... :)
