thanks Halljack, glad you like it .i like the look on the machines you have ,you should try it out and hear the difference . i have been using some quite old chrome cassettes what i have previously recorded on ,i really should get some new ones, although i bet they are harder to come by nowadays . you can see the results in voxengo spans spectrum set to infinity, when you match it next to a mix purely recorded in digital .im looking forward to fixing my tascam 246 and giving that a whirl , the capstan belt should be arriving any day now.cheers
