Hi
I transcribed a colleague of my wife's tape a while back using my TEAC X10.
The tape was about 40 years old and very fragile, it snapped if I let the reels take up any slack themselves. The hum to signal ratio was bad (more recorded hum than there was signal) and the speed was not constant (recorded).
When in digital I could use 200 Hz filter (shelving) to get rid of the hum (it was spoken word).
There was no treble!
I always wanted a 3340 but could not afford or justify it.
I also wanted a PCM F1 Sony digital convertor, bought the Beta video which worked well for over 20 years but couldn't afford the convertor. Now I got a convertor but the Beta died a few years ago!
