Title: Sample of my Revox A77 @ 15ips
Post by: BSD2000 on August 26, 2011, 04:55:09 AM
A few months ago I managed to modify my Revox A77 to high speed, running @ 15IPS. I'm in the process of writing an in-depth article on how I accomplished the modification.
In the mean time, here's a couple sample recordings of the Revox @ 15ips, using Maxell UD 35-180 tape.
Sissel - 'Don't Go Outta Here'
Jordan Rudess & Rod Morgenstein - 'Drop The Puck'
Jorden Rudess & Rod Morgenstein - 'Odd Man Out'
Harry James and His Big Band - 'Roll 'Em'
All of the files are 320k .mp3 files. Keep in mind, the tape I am using is over 30 years old. In some of the recordings, you can hear low level audio in quiet parts of songs. I think the strength of the erase head was not high enough to deal with the faster moving tape and did not fully erase the tape as it passed over.
