Re: Baking a tape to "stabilize" the sound?

I know, it is a funny image. I have reels as well, but the cassettes are the only ones with this particular sound. Obviously would have tested the process on blank or something of little value first. I think the temp most people recommend is about 135 so actually doubt it to be hot enough for any melting to occur. Especially if you protect the tape from direct heat from an oven element. Placing a baking sheat on the bottom shelf and the cassette on the top shelf should do the trick. Would probably do the same for a tape in a metal reel.

Thanx jameskg. Great info. Will save the effort then.
