TEAC never ceases to amaze me with their systems. I am currently considering buying one of their more recent products. This video is motivation to buy it! Thank you very much for uploading. I think I'll put this video in my favorites playlist!!
I'm using Dolby C for practical compatibility reason. I had many decks in the past, actually having some other decks and most probably will have another yet. Dolby C is the most compatible for most of them. That's why :)
Am I seeing correctly at 4:55? This deck has Dolby S??? Amazing! Dolby S is a RARE option! I just wish tape recorders weren't going the way of the dinosaurs!! I love tapes so much!!!!!
Once Dolby C properly implemented and correctly setup, I like the sound of it. It reminds me R2R compression, I love, more than recording without Dolby somehow. Not talking about NOISSSSSS.....:)
Nice demonstration ! I have two points to comment: 1. You cannot compensate high frequencies with bias, when you do, you create really nasty distortions 2. Why record so hot when Dolby C is used? When recordering at 0dB you will have much less distortion
1.) Maybe true. 2.) Not true at all. Having a great deck (I have 7010) it is possible to set the peaks until +5 dB. Of course it is tape dependent, but Maxell XLII-S does it well and probably TDK SA-X does as well.
You can hear the Dynamic Difference between the CD and the Tape (Background Controll) during recording and switching between the CD-Source and the Tape Monitor. A Cassette Deck like this have around 50dB Dynamic and a CD have a max Dynamic from about ~96dB. It is interrest that nobody can hear a Differnce if you only play with the Cassette Deck. The SA-X is a good Tape but not the best you test this with a Position 'Metall' Tape from Maxell or Sony then you can hear a lot of more Dynamic. This is my experience. On Time Position 10:31 you hear that the Dynamic is not so good but your record is also not that what we want hear from this Deck. But last but not leased one of the Good Cassette Decks. I use a Pioneer CT-F1250 and this Deck have also the Meassurtment Controller to align the Bias and the Frequenzy Correction for the differnt Tape Material. Best Regards Volker
Absolutely. There have been some amazing machines during the late 80ies; with TEAC, Pioneer, Akai and obviously Nakamichi leading the pack. Personally, I went for several of Pioneers CT-Series decks (CT-737, 959 and CT-93) and never regretted it. Built like the proverbial tank and sounding so close to the original CD or vinyl that it even matched my UHER and Revox reel-to-reel machines.
carlosds MTV ......You cant say just that that this deck better or ct95 of any Nakamichi....this is not true at all. I have 8030 and 8000....my 680zx is overall better deck with one step better recordings and play. I hate 6030 and 8030 and reason is right channel peak hold is not work properly....left channel is ok. If you have 8030 see closely that right peak hold hold shortly or in slower songs not engage at all....on my 7010 and 8000s is all ok.
Some audiphiles prefer CT-93 than CT-95.CT-95 is very majestatic ,pretty and very advanced deck,however probabely maximal charged.CT-93 is heavier that CT-95.Of course frequency response 10-30000 Hz (metal position) is unique.Reference Master Mechanism is a same,very precize.Pioneer as first designed this mechanism.In 1990-1991 CT-91,91a were the best decks in the world
Of course each company had own idea,solutions,way to perfection in mechanic and electronic components,but each connect common solotions like cassette stabilizer(anti-vibration stabilizer),dual cabstan,3 or even 4 drive motors
The allignment of Record Level and Bias for tape type is wrong done and the recording is way to hot. The deck is a wonderful deck but it can do much better in skillful hands and with trained ears.
+Lars Holst I completely agree Lars. And the CAL made with Dolby engaged?? Come on Ondrej! After CAL made without NR engaged, just switch Dolby S and modulate input about 0db and +4db max for type II; after that it's a very well sounding tape.And I'm sorry to disagree about your comment referring differences between Source and Tape: There are audible differences, mostly by your fault!
buenas noches,, te sugiero que al grabar NUNCA TE PASES DEL +0 ( números rojos) en este deck y otros. esto para evitar que al escuchar la grabación en otros deck y grabadoras no se escuche distorcionada. y si vas a volver a grabar el cassette se borre por completo
I have one, black, sounds great, is the best I have. Sounds like a CD, and I have a player Esoteric UX3SE. That device is underneath, maybe I care !!! ??? Mario
Exist TEAC with Dolby S in prevoius desing,very similar to 7000 and 7010.But it more reminded V-7000,but have changed cassette pocket..It was first TEAC with Dolby S system.Enybody know.Usily in golden/silber edition.I tried to find in Google,but no succes
that's also my opinion but I thought it was the fault of azimuth adjustment, of my kind of tapes used or of my stupidity or my dreadful ears and listening deficits :-) or, excuse me, because of my shitty tape recorder (Denon DRM-710)
You probably do not know what Dolby is used for. It is not for eliminating noises on the CD... it is for eliminating tape hiss. If you record by using Dolby C and play it back when turned on as well you will hear it. The dynamic range will be improved and the tape hiss goes away. If your source CD has bad mastering there is nothing to do with Dolby. It will be bad with or without it, but without Dolby you will have bad mastering + tape hiss.

I hate Dolby C...but I respect your opinion
Simple beautiful design! Agree with you Ondrej!
Beautiful deck! Just wondering why you didn't use Dolby S.
Great deck mate. Great video. Thanks for the english laguage used. Very nice
I got seasickness of your flying camera :-\
WOW!!! youre really pushing the levels there!! Even for a metal or chrome tape!
Am I seeing correctly at 4:55? This deck has Dolby S??? Amazing! Dolby S is a RARE option! I just wish tape recorders weren't going the way of the dinosaurs!! I love tapes so much!!!!!
Me too :-)

Is the recorded sound quality similar with recorded on one of Sony tc-k 970/555/990 es decks?
Nice demonstration ! I have two points to comment:
1. You cannot compensate high frequencies with bias, when you do, you create really nasty distortions
2. Why record so hot when Dolby C is used? When recordering at 0dB you will have much less distortion

When you switch-on dolby, you should not exceed level above dolby symbol on vu meter, correct?
Nice tape deck, but i was wondering why did yoy use dolby on such a good tape? Very good recording! Nice vintage accuphase btw.
GREAT GREAT MUSIC. !!!!!!

I also thought to hear it...getting slower in speed...getting sleepy to hear it after the switching
Tape with Dolby C should have 75 dB dynamic range which is of course less than CD.
@@7AccordHomeStudio 75dB Chinese Dynamic!
I have V8030s, and VRDS25 Cd player. I buy 1996 year :-) I use only 100-150 hour
With Pioneer CT-95 one of the best ever made tape decks. Forget Nakamichi Dragon

You forgot about Aiwa XK S9000.Also absolute reference master cassette deck.I respect Teac V7000,7010,8030S,Pioneer CT-91,93,95,Akai GX95,75,Aiwa XKS 9000,Sony TC K-950,970,990.

The deck is the hell of amazing but your video capturing is the hell of .....................
Did you calibrate correctly ??? tape/monitor switch will not tell the truth, you need to rewind and play again to hesr the resl result.
And why does it not give good results? A deck that is properly calibrated plays exact the same sound while monitoring during recording.

4:14 what was that sound?
Źle kalibrowana taśma. Przesterować można, przez chwilę, ale kalibruje się bez systemu Dolby, nagrywa się i odtwarza z systemem Dolby...
wtf?? +7dB?? wow!
I have one, black, sounds great, is the best I have. Sounds like a CD, and I have a player Esoteric UX3SE.
That device is underneath, maybe I care !!! ???

Exist TEAC with Dolby S in prevoius desing,very similar to 7000 and 7010.But it more reminded V-7000,but have changed cassette pocket..It was first TEAC with Dolby S system.Enybody know.Usily in golden/silber edition.I tried to find in Google,but no succes
I have this deck...and a battery of virgin (20) Sony Super Metal Master compact cassette...
One person doesn't know a quality cassette deck when they see it.
Does Teac still make cassette decks ?
Natürlich, sie schon machen nicht.
Производит,но лучше их не покупать.
ive always wanted one of them its a shame everything went to black plastic then horrible digital sad
should you not calibrate the tape where the 2 arrows meet - its too high!
And I've always hated dolby b and c...they totally ruin the recording. They never sound similar to the source
that's also my opinion but I thought it was the fault of azimuth adjustment, of my kind of tapes used or of my stupidity or my dreadful ears and listening deficits :-) or, excuse me, because of my shitty tape recorder (Denon DRM-710)
this is all very good and everything but next time give the camera to someone who doesnt have tourettes.
Exactly!

You don't need Dolby nr for recording from CD unless it's a bad CD recording
You probably do not know what Dolby is used for. It is not for eliminating noises on the CD... it is for eliminating tape hiss. If you record by using Dolby C and play it back when turned on as well you will hear it. The dynamic range will be improved and the tape hiss goes away. If your source CD has bad mastering there is nothing to do with Dolby. It will be bad with or without it, but without Dolby you will have bad mastering + tape hiss.
You need to buy a"BEAUTIFUL"NEW 📷 CAMERA,that camera you currently have is HORRIBLE!!.
You tremble a lot sir, Sorry
Ridiculous...
you are not calibrating correctly
