Man this thing is amazing, the auto recording level function is a great feature. How often do you have to clean the heads on this machine?

What is the recommended fluid for tape head cleaning for this machine?

 

Cheers

I would recommend you to clean the heads with the cleanest Isopropanol (IPA - Isopropylalcohol) on cutton swabs before you record a tape or every ten hours of operation. It all depends on the age of your tape collection and how much they are shedding oxides.
