I had a friend who was in the military overseas and had a couple of reel to reel deck, he loved it.

I found some tapes at a garage sale business. I think there a couple  of them that said "Lacquar Master". I don't have a tape deck so I don't know if they sound any good.

Hi, doing click removal in selections I noticed that there is a large difference between the length of an automatic removal and the default length of a manual removal. That´s interesting because sometimes if a click is wide and you feel (listening) that it really wasn´t removed automatically you can revisit the click and just press manual and it is removed. So why the big difference in length between automatic and manual?

I can recommend the IFI phono preamp also.

Hi. If you imply the Zen Phone, an affordable thing to start with, I suppose noisy things (unless its balanced output is used) will do the bad thing.
The OP should use an controllable input ADC IYKWIM.

Ahh! Wonder why that never turned up in any of my searches? Looks like just the thing. I appreciate your response!

I can recommend the IFI phono preamp also.  It supports both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges and has a highly useful rumble filter.  I use it with a MusicHall MF 7.1 tt.  Sounds wonderful. That cartridge and preamp combination beat my Grado gold/Creek preamp by a lot...

Am I the only dinosaur still listening - and loving - my reel to reel collection of tapes (and tape decks).

Obviously not many clicks to have to deal with, or media cleaning.  On the other hand, definitely need to clean and demagnetize the transport and heads on a regular basis.

And I have yet to scratch a tape although I can tear up the ends when mounting for playback. 

I had 4 pioneer decks but sold them, the electronics are too problematic.  The Sony's are more reliable electronically, although they do need mechanical maintenance (99% just cleaning and lubing).

Anyway, the tapes and decks sound great when in good repair...

[[The code is actually quite clever, but wasn't working as intended.]]

Those two tend to go together in my experience...   

By  the way, I am experiencing similiar (perhaps same?) issue digitizing with Soundblaster Z SE.

Will a fix be generally available?

thanks,
LT
