Topic: little "pops" on my dat master

[Gordon]

the kind that you would hear on a CD.  thought it was from the transfer but it's on the dat as well.  only about 10 secs worth but.....
   

[Gordon]

anyone have any idea what they are?  not diginoise and it doesn't really sound like static.

[F.O.Bean]

dirty or bad heads, looose digi cable, bad connection somewhere, damn dats

[Lee]

sounds like bad heads... my d8 started laying those down a pretty good bit before it shat the bed.  Resist the temptation to over-clean it, though... that will only make it worse

[BC]

give your deck a run with a cleaning tape, see if that helps.

Take care,
Ben

I do clean it.  a lot.  maybe too much as lee said..... shit it's only 2 years old.
