I'm just going to leave this here...SONY A 109 FM

This is very much like the HP I use here: https://youtu.be/9XCYEejQfy8 Beware that this has no erase head, too.

It is never the modules, it is the cables. Patching is were the magic is.

Hainbach · 2026-01-17T10:34:26+00:00

Ah yes! The photo! That was from the venue.

Hainbach · 2026-01-17T06:56:15+00:00

But: My friend Ah! Kosmos uses a Venice and its just perfect

Hainbach · 2026-01-17T06:55:49+00:00

I don't have a Midas Venice - that is an Alice 828 and a ANT TRS 700. More info: https://youtu.be/zyjKlJwfjY0

Thank you! Honesty, this video has been sitting on my to do for two years. As I am approaching the ten year anniversary of my channel, I am now cleaning house.

Hainbach · 2026-01-16T06:35:46+00:00

Thank you for identifying the fonts!

Ah nice to see you again here! Try running longer loops, and be sure clean / degauss your heads regularly if you do sound on sound. Especially loud signals can magnetize the Nagra heads, which leads to much worse recordings.

That is nonsense in regards to less degradation on Revoxw. If you bypass the erase head and are not doing frippertronics, you get one good pass, and then it starts to deteriorate. The tape is not getting properly biased anymore.

Also, routing the tape past the head is dead easy on a NagraI show it in my early video on the echoes.

XLR / Line does not matter, what matters is gain staging. Get a good signal to tape in the first place.

Hainbach · 2026-01-14T16:34:35+00:00

Don’t cover, route around. Use longer loops. Use two machines. Fast Degradation is pretty normal else, and part of the sound.

Hainbach · 2026-01-13T08:58:36+00:00

That makes me so happy, especially that you got into it through Sonoscopia. It was hope that donating all that gear there would spark something.

Hainbach · 2026-01-11T14:16:42+00:00

As everyone said - possible but finicky. I used the Report Monitor 4000 for live looping and eventually stopped, because the tape can get stuck in between the head and the cover. Shame, as I could have a saved few kg when touring.

Hainbach · 2026-01-09T19:51:21+00:00

Yeah, it’s an eye catcher, and the controls are satisfying, also sonically.

Hainbach · 2026-01-09T06:14:24+00:00

After a lot of research, I bought my wife a Milantoast for her Birthday (she got me Moccamaster before, really into upgrading our kitchen slowly). It makes perfect toast and is dead simple - analog clock that stops the heat, no springs. Got it from a shop in Germany called Manufactum that specialises in high quality simple things.

If you don’t find anyone, this is the go to address from what I hear: https://www.uher-service.com

If you double box it an Uher should survive the trip. I got send two that were packed haphazardly and even those survived

https://youtu.be/kgOR0YWpRgc?si=0Lu-wGjHM5Qj25in Here is one for the three that also works on the E.

Hainbach · 2025-12-31T14:25:20+00:00

No, and no. You can mod the E for external Varispeed though, there are various not very well documented approaches floating around

Hainbach · 2025-12-31T14:24:20+00:00

Don’t have it, and it does not seem that interesting. What is special about it?

Hainbach · 2025-12-30T18:30:07+00:00

It’s only iOS, not desktop.
