Quite a nice little deck! The tape was recorded on the same machine a few moments earlier. TDK AR with Dolby B noise reduction, peaks around Dolby level.
Sony TC-K750ES - Calibration & record (Sony Metal-ES feat. H. Faltermeyer)
Просмотров 22 тыс.4 года назад
Maybe not the most original choice of music, but I thought it would play along nicely with the lovely Metal-ES from 1988. Normally you probably shouldn't record this hot, but as always, this is an unscientific demonstration made just for the fun of it. (expand for more information below) This was most likely one of my longest running projects (and also my first ES-deck!) which initially had a f...

Sony TC-K770ES calibration and record/play test (with some Koto!)
Просмотров 16 тыс.4 года назад
Decided to try a Sony TC-K770ES from the early nineties this winter. Overall it's a very nice machine with direct drive, dual capstan, manual tape calibration and lovely peak meters. Here I'm recording a Maxell UDI CD (quite nice type 1 tape, but flimsy and cheap shell) pushing the levels unnecessarily high. Somehow I find that very amusing. Disclaimer: This is a very unscientific test made jus...
Radio FM (Fria Media) 104,3 Linköping - 1995-1996 (?) idents, jingles and some commercials
Просмотров 7424 года назад
Found some old tapes, probably recorded around 1995-1996 when I seemingly listened a lot to the commercial radio station Radio FM (Fria Media) at 104,3 MHz here in Linköping. About a year later in 1997, Radio FM was transformed into Radio Match. Maybe at least someone will find this interesting. :)

Thanks to the left.
While this is obviously a comparison of these three radically different yet similar tapes, I give (more than) full marks to this SONY TC-K870ES, if they were indeed recorded on it. There's absolutely NO discernible difference between them. Does that also mean that the TC-K950ES and the TC-K770ES are better than this K870ES. If yes, how can they be better than this!!?
Mine is the 909 es
My deck is the Dolby S is it any better then Dolby C ?
😮💨

Spelningen på Emmaboda inför 10.000 E-ade nittiotalister var något av det bästa jag sett
Önskar vi hade denna typ av radio i dagens duopol bestående av Bauer Media och Viaplay Radio Group - tröttsamma mediakoncerner med blaskiga kommersiella kanaler. Radion var helt enkelt bättre på 90- och 00-talet i Sverige. Svensk FM-radio är förstörd därför ingen längre lyssnar på det. Finns ingen variation. Alla kanaler sänds från samma hus i Stockholm. De har till och med reklam samtidigt. "Variation". Pinsamt.
Why isn't there more noise without dolly c ? This would totally sound different with my deck.
Can't hear any difference because of youtube audio conversion. Where is your end result?
Great song Great movie. Memories loved watching this growing up. Chris yes Jerry 😂😂😂😂
I can hear that you are over saturating the heads/tape, Paul. A bit like using a compressor? Love the sound, anyway..
Best song.
I love how this is his first line.
Beautiful deck and amazing sound👍♥
super travail

Your transitions after text displays were a bit too fast - consider slowing them down so we can read the text.
Wait, that the music that comes out of this walkman ??
Yes, it's a direct recording from the headphones jack on the Walkman.
@@SerafimSvensson Mate... Its amazing ! I just bought one on Ebay after watched your video, brand new still in his box. I cannot wait to try it !
@@mentalmillionnaire4487Wow, congratulations on finding a brand new one these days! Incredible! 😍 Just keep in mind that the center gear (shown 43 seconds into my video) unfortunately probably is cracked as they expand with time/age and will need to be either replaced or repaired... if the seller has not already taken care of it.
@@SerafimSvensson The seller told me that he didn't restore it, but he tried the Walkman for 8 hours before selling it to see if there were any problems. I have never done any maintenance on a Walkman, but if necessary, I would change everything myself. The only thing that scares me is the calibration of the device because I don't have the equipment to do it, and I don't know how it works. Where did you buy the spare parts to restore your Walkman?
@@mentalmillionnaire4487You might be lucky, but if you hear a clicking noise repeated every second while the Walkman is in play mode, the center gear needs to be fixed. 😢 I can highly recommend FixYourAudio and their center gear kit, as well as some other minor parts that might need a replacement. Instructions on how to do a proper service is available on the website, just have a look under "Tutorials" and scroll down a bit until you find the "Sony DD series step-by-step repair guide for dummies". Without this guide and the replacements parts, I can honestly say that it's very unlikely that I'd been able to perform a successful restoration. It's "quite" a bit of work, but totally worth it in the end. 😀
Are you using adobe audition for doing your tapes that’s what I use if your selling that deck let me know
Only to record the output from the deck, but yes, that is correct! :)
How does this record with levels greater than 0db and going into the red zone without distortion? i usually record till peaks hit 0db. Here i see you are peaking at 8db.
Quite well actually, the 700-series from this era with its Permalloy heads are not too shabby for hot recordings with type 1 super ferrics and metal tapes. Be sure to check out my other videos, at least the TC-K750ES one (which is almost the same machine as this) where a Metal-ES is recorded really hot. ... But unless you're recording a metal tape, which has higher SOL (Saturation Output Level, usually measured at 10 KHz) than both type 1 and 2, keeping your recording level around Dolby level or 0 dB is most likely a better way to record, but not as much fun. 😉
It was My Dream.....in past 😢
Beautiful deck👍❤️💯
I own 890ES it looks almost the same , do you know the difference?
Honestly I don't know all the details, but to my knowledge the TC-K890ES is a better machine overall. Except in one area - hot recordings on type 2 and 4 are quite limited due to different heads (the 870 and 890 uses laser-amorphous for both rec and play, while the 700-series uses Permalloy) and the way Sony implemented these and the recording circuitry. There are threads on the Tapeheads forum about this, and how to make hot recordings a bit better - matching the 900-series.
@@SerafimSvensson Thanks for your input and info .
I am very jealous right now.
Awesome job mate!! I'm restoring and repair wo Dual C-844 and I know what you can find inside a tape deck😁 Subsc
Are you selling it
hi! good video CONGRATS! i have a question... i just replace pinch, new belts. but its a bit slower when you hear other original tapes. but if i record and play in this deck it is perfect. at 3 khz shows 2.960 what can i do.? the model is sony k950ES many thanks. can i fix the capstan speed a bit? i know that it is locked quartz. many thanks bye. i just want perfection just like you! bye!!!
Hi there! That's odd, I've serviced quite a few TCM-200D and never seen one being that much off (apart from those being DOA). :) Usually - when I've encountered some more tricky ones (in my case, when the speed is below 2990 Hz), I just take everything in the motor assembly apart and begin from scratch, cleaning/re-greasing/lubing/checking everything one more time. So far this approach has solved all my issues, but we're talking about a change of at most 10 Hz... :/ I assume you are using a proper speed test tape from a trusted source?

What a great video! 👌👌👌
Thank you! 🥰
You really disassembled this deck to the last screw and after revising even the smallest part you rebuild it. This video shows not only your expertise and knowledge but also the love for these high end machines...Awesome! 👌
"Ah jag ger fan i greven jag ska ha en cigarr här"
You revers voltage plus on minus on capacitor, minus on plus. Did you you that on the mainboard, thanks
Hi there! All polarized capacitors in series were replaced as-is, i.e. no change to non-polarized caps. Maybe for another project (or day)... :)
Great video! Nice job on the editing. Blowing up capacitors is always great to watch. Sony made great stuff in the 90's. Good work on the refurb. Keep it up!
For me there are a couple of things to note. I am impressed with the warmth of the D90 I was expecting it to sound a little muddied but it wasn't. So props to the 870ES biasing. The Chrome performed as I was expecting it to, much more forward and bright, not a sound I would be listening to for long periods. The Metal seemed to reign in the Brightness somewhat, allowing a warmth akin to the D90 but with the added dynamics and detail you could expect from a good quality Metal tape biased well on a great machine and the 870 is a great machine. So my overall impressions 1ST place the Metal; 2nd Ferric and 3rd The Chrome. Such a surprise how good the D90 could sound. The sad learning from this, I gave up on Cassettes far to soon. I put out for the rubbish a perfectly working Aiwa ADF990!!!!! and gave away a great performing Sony TCK 611S and with it a whole bunch of TDK MAXG's and Sony super Metal Master tapes
Wow u shud have sold the Aiwa ir gave it away. Not throw out good working stuff
@ShazeemKhan yeah it was at a time when we were led to believe there was no value in these "inferior" technologies, and no one would want to buy it. Sadly and expensively, I now know different.
@@Gez492 🥺😢 Oh ok, shoot, that is hard, I thought u had know at the time. I got my fair share of bad investments, too FWIW. I have about 4 or 5 non working decks just sitting there. No support for them in my island, techs don't fix them, sadly

Im number one :) And yea its not all fun and games. People get jealous and angry they are below me.
I swear - this has become one of my most used quotes EVER!
Nice video, i have a Sony TC-K909ES, how does it compare to this deck
Thank you! Unfortunately I hadn't had the please to try the TC-K909ES, so I don't know. :(
I have one too !! How do you record to cassette in such high quality? Literally sounds digital levels of clean !! Zero dolby pumping.
It's a nice device! :) I thought about using a super ferric for a bit more warm-ish "cassette-like" sound, but liked how the TDK MA performed despite being a bit more "sterile". Peaks were around +4-5dB, so I didn't feel the need for Dolby. :)
Never gets old. 😂😂

Awesome Video! I'm working on a Sony TC-K790 at the moment. The electrolytic SMD caps on my direct drive board are leaking as well.... Just ordered new parts. Very nice music for testing. This gives me motiviation to push through. :-)
Thank you very much! The TC-K790ES is a very nice machine, I had one a bit back but never got around to make a good enough video with it. Best of luck with the repairs! :)

Good job! I hate dealing with decks. Too many mechanics and obsolete parts.
I have Sony deck 555esg, it's very good.
