Die Firma „Mara“ kannte ich bis jetzt noch gar nicht, bin mit diesem Video von Ihnen erst darauf aufmerksam geworden. Ein sehr schönes Gerät, dass sich nicht hinter „Studer“oder „Nagra“ usw. verstecken braucht. Viele Grüße aus Germany (Munich)👍🍻
It's great that Mara exists. The great problem for most people interested in tape machines is refurbishment if they don'thave the knowledge or time to do refurbishment themselves..
Indeed! It is very, very assuring to have such a resource and be able to have a live Zoom discussion when something goes wrong. And apparently they have very large installed base - clearly people value that service.
@Foxbat9000 who can refurbish old reel to reel machines the cheaper versions?in 🇬🇧 grundig akai philips? Thanks 😊
@@WesleyWattley-xy4fgI think you will get the best information by going on Tapeheads.net forum and asking there, it is frequented by service guys and also customers. I simply don't know.
I had Mara restore my MCI JH-110A one inch 8 track. They did a wonderful job.
informative video. Nicely done. Not many machines will take the 14 inch reels. They usually contain 5000 feet of tape. Nice tape head pre shown on this deck too.
Where do you get your tapes from? I assume that they are master copies not just copes from qobuz or LPs.
The tapes I use come from different sources, depending upon my particular needs and the type of music I want. There are some official direct copies of the masters, a few real masters, the safety copies I made and I also use the material from Qobuz - when I want a particular piece. I usually use hi-res files, and play them through a very good quality tube DAC, so they tend to sound very good - much better, than the RUclips can convey.
Your voice sounds much like Janos Starker. Love your channel.
Thank you, I will take that as a compliment. :) I know Janos as a great cellist, but I never heard his voice.
Do you have any working simple 1970's reel to reel recorders for sale uk 🇬🇧?? possibly!
@@WesleyWattley-xy4fgNo, sorry...
@@Foxbat9000 Thanks Sir! 😊 🌎 🇬🇧
@@Foxbat9000 Yes, he was one of the great cellist. Do you have any tapes of his recordings?
1 year warranty?? According to their web site it's 6 months parts and 90 days labour. Well worth over 6K for the base model.
Sorry, I was quoting from memory, I am pretty sure it was 1 year when I ordered it, but perhaps they changed it since then.
Замечательная коллекция! ❤
Thank you! That nice bunch, and my wife's company... OK, OK, wrong order here... :) are two places where I love spending my time. :)
Any models that are tape lifter-LESS, like some of the Studer machines? Are not they way less prone to causing oxide shedding?
sorry for the dumb question whats the name of those open reels that you always use? also what is the advantage. I have an MCI jh110 with a JRF 1/2" headstack modification. Is it possible to do that with 1/2" tape?
People use different names for them: pancakes, platters, flanges, or the more official AEG DIN.The advantages are easy access to tape, lower cost and slightly higher capacity due to smaller hub diameter, and to me the overall higher convenience. I have never seen that used with 1/2" tape, but I do that. I had to modify the hubs for wider tape - you can see that in another video. However, even though I believe there was at some point the solution for that machine, I have never seen it, so I had to make my own.
Must be nice to have a dedicated external Tape head pre for all your RTRs......lol
getting away from the stock playback electronics even on a consumer machine such as a Pioneer, Teac or Akai makes a huge difference or improvement in sound quality. Tons of stand alone phono preamps are in the marketplace both new and used where you can convert the playback EQ to NAB or IEC and not all of these are super expensive. You'll need one with at least 55 to 58db of gain so MM only units will not work, need one with an adjustable MC input.
Это круто , не всем понять…
