Re: Grundig TK20 and Truvox R82. Help Required Please.
Hi Ted, thanks for that excellent tutorial. You have explained in a couple of paragraphs everything I need to know about record/playback heads. I now realise that if I can't source a compatible head I'll have to settle for just having a machine to playback on, which is fine as that was really the point of trying to fix this machine in the first place. Cheers!
It speaks volumes for the technology that good recordings from that era, to my ears at least, have a quality that no digital recording ever has, which perhaps explains why a lot of artistes are going back to tape technology. They can sample as much as they like but even at CD 44000 sample rate there are still gaps. Analogue is a continuous waveform, no gaps, and maybe it's the gaps that make the difference! That's my theory anyway!
