[[ when you must play that tape at least once, so you could dub it.]]
yes, that's my need. My tapes for the most part are commercial releases of classical music, seems 90% on ampex.
I've had two of the last 10 dub attempts shed leaving just the clear plastic tape remaining! Does look humorous though...
My tapes are irreplaceable so I will do whatever it takes to dub them. Then they go onto EBAY I guess...
I don't plan on recording on the Sony's unless I can obtain better recording quality tham my tests indicate so far. Definitely not in the same leagus as the Pioneer 909 for recording.
I do intend to do some electronic work on the boards including replacing caps. But I am doubtful I will ever get satisfactory recording quality from the Sonys.
With the 909, I could switch back and forth between source and tape playback while recording and could not hear a difference if level matched.
I can't find a way to level match between source and recording monitoring
with the Sony's but there is a clear loss of quality in the recording...
