Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

A very good point

Car stereos have always been a problen. The narrow heads on Naks can sometimes, if not all the time,be a problem, especially on the 3 head machines. It appears to me that 2 head designs are less susceptible to this problem. Discreet heads are great on RTR machines because of their size and space available. 3 head machines are much easier to align that is why I prefer the 3 head design that combines R and P heads in one housing. The trade off, they just don't sound as good as discreet head machines. My theory, the close proximity of the heads leads to bias current leaking to the play head, only a theory. Good luck and happy listening.
