Tape Deek Collection: Teac X-2000R

This is the mighty Teac X-2000R,  sold to me by Carl.  It is a 4 track RTR with DBX encoding that actually sounds ok.  This one has been recapped and had new heads installed circa 2012,  along with a blue-LED lighting mod that matches my Emotiva pre.   It is a cool unit - can record in both directions and the quality of the tapes is to be respected. I had t adjust the forward erase head,  and may do some tweaking on the heads once I get the MRL calibration tape. The case is wrapped in wood veneer that Carl did himself,  with guidance from F1nut (who I believe is a pro carpenter).  Very purdy. 

PS - all the medicine bottles are for the 12AX7 tubes I frequently swap in my DAC - this is not my Xanax supply!

Where do you keep your Xanax?


That deck does look pretty though.

Where do you keep your Xanax?

You don't think that all those pill bottles have tubes in them do you??
