I use a Computer based oscilloscope to match both channels phase. The pc samples at 96Khz

I use a set of two prerecorded tapes.

These two prerecorded tapes (one is "Dire straits - Brothers in ARms", the other is a spanish singer ) are not exactely same aligned. The highs sounds that reveal the precise phase misalignment, are not always present as would be in a test tape and wow and flutter can introduce some phase disadjustment. So I take my time alternating between these two tapes until the phase seems matched on both tapes, most of the times the highs are present.

Yes, I know. I have to obtain one of those basf or nakamichi alginment tapes.
It's not orthodox, but, belive me I leave the heads aligned.

Then I confirm it with other tapes recorded by me on other decks with tests tones.

THANKS again.

Nacho
