I would recommend taking it to a knowledgeable dealer for inspection. However, the problem might be in the way you've connected up your system. If your preamp or amp or receiver has a moving coil/moving magnet switch, try experimenting with that. Also, make sure the turntable is connected to the right set of jacks. Your tapes seem to sound better with the Dolby circuit off because Dolby encoding preemphasizes and compresses the treble, and then deemphasizes and expands it on playback. It sounds "better" just because you're hearing more of the highs. Try switching the NR back on and touching up the treble a bit with the tone controls on your amp. You're not getting the most out of your tape deck listening to it without it. -- Bob Fishell ihnp4!ihu1g!fish
