Re: DAT Tapes Static Noise

How old / clean is your playback DAT deck? Dirty or worn heads will cause mistracking that you're hearing as "static". Maybe it's time to start looking for a different DAT deck to archive those tapes before you can't find a working DAT deck anymore to do it... Good luck!
