Akai 81D vs. Akai 82D vs. Telex Viking 811- there's more to it than frequency response
in the past week I dug out my Akai 81 and 82 decks and compared them
CLOSELY to the Telex Viking The Akais lived up to their rep and published specs on freq response, one can hear a little more cymbal and highs using the Akais. But to be quite honest, the Telex 811 has a more pleasing sound overall- and stronger midrange/bass response. I'm going to go out on a limb here, after nearly 6 years of comparing decks from Ebay and other sources- to declare the Telex Viking 811 the best deck ever made for sound quality. And it swithes tracks reliably too. I dubbed a Aerosmith-Get Your Wings from the 81D to the 82D, then replayed it in the 82D- wanting to see if the low-bass crosstalk would disappear. Guess what- even if you make a tape on the 82D, there is STILL crosstalk when you play it back in the 82D- and the tape was bulk erased before making the dub. There is slightly less crosstalk than usual, but it's there nonetheless. So I'll go further out on a limb, to state the 81D is the best Akai deck ever made. The glass head on the 82D is just too damn finicky. |

You have no equipment, no credible experience in electrical metrics and are a well known bull**** artist. But to be quite honest, the Telex 811 has a more pleasing sound overall- and stronger midrange/bass response. snip Akais are notoriously weak in bass because they biased the head gaps more toward playback and high frequency response. At audio frequencies, there's always a trade-off between bass and top end. Of course, you wouldn't know that, would you?

The head alignment procedure on an Akai is much more complex that diddling two screws. Too complex for a 'tard like Charlie Nudo to accomplish successfully. So I'll go further out on a limb, to state the 81D is the best Akai deck ever made. The glass head on the 82D is just too damn finicky.snip Another BS statement from the king of BS, Charlie Nudo, aka 66-catalina. |

How would you know? You have no equipment, no credible experience in electrical metrics and are a well known bull**** artist. Yet you're the guy who never owned an 8-track deck until 2 years ago.... Akais are notoriously weak in bass because they biased the head gaps more toward playback and high frequency response. At audio frequencies, there's always a trade-off between bass and top end. WRONG- the 82D has the best bass response of all- it's just that the glass head exhibits excessive bass bleedover That's because you don't know what you're doing and use a ****ty GC Electronics duped alignment tape, the very same one you use for your eBay fraud tapes. to try to line up a head. The head alignment procedure on an Akai is much more complex that diddling two screws. The best alignment tape is the music tape being listened to at the time- what good is alignment if there is bleedover. That's why the best decks had EXTERNAL HEAD ADJUSTMENT KNOBS. Perhaps you should pick the stick out of your own eye, before you dig the log out of everyone else's eyes on Usenet- if you're the type that resorts to personal attacks, when debating 8-TRACK TAPES AND PLAYERS, you have some serious personality issues of your own to deal with. 8- tracks are the least of your issues. |

The tale of his long legacy of Usenet harassment and buffoonery speaks otherwise. He also think that because he "cancels" posts on "goo goo groups" that they disappear. They do not. |
