  1. Why we do this work…

    by @beet_keeper

    There aren’t many rewards in a discipline that is about taking the long term view but occasionally something comes up that you can take some pride in.

    Last month, Ed Summers put out a call on Mastodon: digipres.club where he was wrestling with a CD-R format that was difficult to recognize. The disks likely held precious data belonging to his late brother.

    Much of the search area had already been examined and narrowed down by folks in the community, including Misty de Meo, Roxi Ruuska, Ethan Gates, and Johan van der Knijff who all contributed suggestions and analysis..

    Ed was able to share a copy of one of his disk images, and I had some time that I could dedicate to taking a look as well.

    Long-story short, we were able to identify the disks, and Ed has written up the background here: inkdroid.org/2026/06/12/tascam

    The situation might be familiar to others: a digital file that isn’t recognized by the major file format identification tools, and yet, because of its context, you know it is something that might be important.

    I have different experiences with these types of files, sometimes they are valuable (and you want to look after them), sometimes they are not (and it can still benefit you to get rid of them). The process of finding this out often follows a similar path.

    In this instance the files turned out to be incredibly valuable and I wanted to elaborate on the path of discovery. Even though it really isn’t very sophisticated, I hope it will be helpful to those with unidentified digital records who might find the task of identifying them quite daunting.

  3. It’s been a little while since my last post. So finally have a Technics SL1210 Mk2 from MasterSounds and now fitted with an Ortofon 2M Red and using a Teac TA-TS30UN platter mat.

    This then feeds into my Graham Slee Communicator Gram Amp 2 and then to a Graham Slee Novo Headphone Amp.

  4. I love my system setup.

    I just hope to make it complete with an 10-band equalizer and a MD player this year in God's will !

  6. Picked up this #TEAC A-510 #tapedeck from the #charityshop today. Label said it turns kn but tape no working. Next #repair project has landed.

  7. This infuriates me: Cassette lifespan is short, and dust somehow gets in, damaging my deck's head. Cleaning took forever.
    Gotta store those old tapes separately!

  9. My TEAC 32-2B is home and operational again. Turns out it’s a rare one, actually being a Tascam X-10 disguised as a TEAC 32-2. I guess that’s why they added the “B.” It has 2 drive belts instead of 1, but the kicker is that it supports both NAB (North American) and IEC (European) EQ with a push button on the front panel.

  12. Finally my cassette deck is back !
    So grateful with the tech man, he made a great work in just one day!

    And I still play old formats in my music spot... and proud of that!
    Mostly 1980's music, especially Japanese Pop and Mando Pop from that glorious decade!
