LISTEN TO A SAMPLE BELOW

A RAW TRANSFER
What you hear is what I have

No noise reduction or eq was applied.
Tape player (Nakamichi BX-2) azimuth adjustment was done.

------------------------------------
AZIMUTH ADJUSTMENT:
If you use cassettes and want the best playback (for either listening or conversion to digital)
YOU REALLY SHOULD KNOW THIS
go to:
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=96904
Download
It's only 4.5 mb
Read it

It is also in the DIME Wiki; http://wiki.dimeadozen.org/index.php/Azimuth

The actual adjustment is VERY easy (there is more detail in the wiki)
1 - take off the door
2 - plug in some headphones
3 - put in a tape
4 - WHILE listening to a tape twist the screw back and forth (you'll see once you download the file)
5 - stop twisting when it sounds the best

Remember, each tape is different (especially if recorded on another machine)

------------------------------------
HEY GANG:
I offer what I have, with ALL the information known to me.
If you've got a better version, seed it.
If you have more accurate information, please add it in a comment.
If anyone would like to attempt a remastering job, go right ahead.

Let's try and keep it positive and make DIME as good an experience for all as possible.
