It sounds like there is a lot of intrinsic quality on the Southern Death Cult session track if only the tape tracking could settle down! I’d be willing to help out with tapes unless Rocker gets in first with some Lowman tapes (no that’s not true, I’d be happy to do the lot!) My deck needs some ripping action or I fear it will seize up.

A 3-head deck would be best for the best possible quality extraction from a tape but correct azimuth setting is even more important, a pre-requisite I would say, and a 2 head deck could be found quite cheaply on eBay. I always take the door off a deck to allow adjustment of the azimuth screw during playback until it sounds clearest and most stable.

Yes I agree... I didn't really notice a significant drop in quality until the recordings went away from medium wave to quite a low output FM signal quality... anyway I think the Envivo has produced its first real questionable result. If any of you want to pick up all these tapes be my guest but it would have to be somewhere between Newport and Swansea or up as far as Brecon maybe. 

Bristol is a possibility but it would have to wait until I was working there ( about twice a year ).

I have a JVC tape player right under the computer. Its all linked up and plays fine. Maybe I should have just purchased a digitiser and used that... it doesn't seem to have many inputs or outputs though ( its hard to get it out and have a good look at it )

Its part of a cheap JVC music centre I found being chucked out by my neighbour. As you can tell I'm no audiophile.
