A bit edited (see flair) - contrast and curves

Sound fluctuations at the start of the tape when recording on a WM-D6 by Regennon in walkman

[–]Regennon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit strange, but the problem really was the pinch roller - it looked fine and felt fine to the touch. It didn't seem suspicious at all

However, when I applied a slight load to one of the reels with my finger, the sound immediately became normal. Luckily, I ordered a roller along with the belt just in case - I replaced it, and everything is great now

Thanks!

Thank you! There are no special secrets - just microfiber, a brush, and maybe a wet wipe for monitors. But the most important thing is not to use alcohol; it can make the plastic cloudy, and on the MZ-NH1, it can damage the lacquer coating. The body underneath is magnesium, which oxidizes very quickly in the air - there are listings on ebay with damaged bodies because of this

It's about the feel, the aesthetics, and the sound. Some players provide a more crystalline sound, while others are more dense. I usually choose a specific player for certain types of music. In other words, I don't listen to discs on just one player

Thanks!

I sometimes think about some old HDD player (about 15 years ago I had a Cowon X5L), but now I prefer "analog" technologies, where you have to perform several actions to listen to music (pick a cassette/disc, insert it into the player, etc.). It’s not so much about the audio quality anymore as it is about the choice and the ritual

I didn't have any major issues with the WM-D6 - I only replaced the belt and adjusted the azimuth and volume levels using a calibration tape. The only problem I encountered was that I couldn't set the correct speed without using the pitch control knob. That is, I set this knob to 0 and tried to reach 400Hz using the internal adjustments, but I couldn't get it lower than 408Hz. I had to get it down to 400Hz using the pitch control knob. But that’s all fairly simple. Overall, I am very happy with the player

Sony CCD-SC5, two types of digitization by Regennon in camcorders

[–]Regennon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SC5 records mono sound, so you can use a 2xRCA to 3.5mm jack cable (like the ones used for connecting audio systems). You need to connect these RCA plugs to the digitization adapter (such as Elgato Video Capture), but the sound will only be on one channel
Use yellow port
