Default Re: Revox A77 head mounting

Yes I agree that they are secondary tapes .. although made using decent equipment by the look of it. On all 3 machines that I have set up, I found that only the very slightest azimuth adjustment was needed on each machine from the position set by the factory (no more than an 1/16th rotation). Which is an encouraging sign .. I suppose. All 3 machines have been set up using the nielsfup2010 tape so as to maintain azimuth compatibility when swapping tapes around between machines. I would guess that those MRL tapes are quite expensive?

eta - so where would a 'first generation' calibration tape come from? What machine would it be made on?
