HTH cross posted to rec.audio.pro Tascam sells one for the Tascam 122, which I recommend for use with almost any cassette deck. They actually sell dozens of kinds, but the 122 one is good. HOWEVER, the problem you have has to do with the fact that all the cassettes you have been given having incorrect azimuth and Dolby levels. Because every damn cassette in the world has incorrect azimuth and Dolby levels, and on a lot of them the azimuth changes over the course of the tape too. You sadly have to do the azimuth and Dolby levels by hand for each and every tape, and it is no fun. However, you will still need to use the reference alignment tape to reset the cassette deck back to nominal alignment after doing this. God, I hate cassettes. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Years ago I used to use a Nacamichi Dragon player that auto-aligned for
azimuth with a custom made meter that displayed the result. It was used for testing production samples. |
