RE: Are Tandberg Decks Known To Be Unreliable?

I recorded a full 90 minute tape today back to back both sides and no issues, other then the fact the MA-XG tape I was using had a lot of dropouts on side A and less of them on side B. Very uneven sounding tape. It was a tape I may of bought from a guy in Florida, so its possible the moisture down there got to the tape.

One thing that is still bugging me though is the deck is recording 3db hotter on metal tapes then source, and this is after calibration as well. This was supposed to be fixed last time and the tech said it was, yet Im still getting this issue. I guess I'll have to live with that.
