1. what is the best DAT cleaner out there and how many hours after recording and playback should I clean it?
I did not see if anyone answered this question after the topic seemed to shift to the types of tapes used.
I am using a sony PCM-M1 that I bought used and have not noticed any problems with tape quality. I do not have any type of head cleaning tape, nor do I know if these are more helpful or harmful. If anyone can help me on this matter it would be much appriciated, also I saw someone mentioned about 'ProDigital' should I wait until i notice problems with my recording unit before sending off for service, or after___ hours of use on the heads?
thanks alot for all the help on your forms, I have found this site to be a great deal of help to a new taper
