Line Devices

Am I the only one here who uses a tape deck as a line for all of my audio sources? Even computer.

Nope. I have a reel to reel I play with sometimes :DD

I like the quality from those. But I have 2 of them and am afraid to play them because of dust.

Just run a fan and blow it out when you're done Unless you live in a barn you won't hurt it :P

What tape deck do you use for your line in devices even computer? I have a Tascam 112MKII.

My R2R is a sony but the PN was rubbed off 3: my dad says its from the 50's tho. It was his grandpas.

is it direct dive?

I'm not sure what you mean? It has line out if thats what you're asking. I don't think it came with it though.

I mean does it spin the reel by way of a drive motor. I hear that the belt driven ones can degrade over time.

OH no I don't know this. I'm scared to open it unless I break it.

Oh well. Happy listening then.
