    • Otari MX-5050BII
    Have two of these units. One for recording and the other is used for playback. The transport is modified so that the tape signal is taken directly from the playback head and connected directly to the balanced outputs bypassing the internal electronics. The outputs pass the signal to the tape head preamp inputs on the MP-3.
    • pARTicular Triangle

Cio09,

Nice setup, I also run the CEC TL-51X and although the stock unit is no slouch, I wanted to take it to the next level.

So, I had it modded to the max by RAM, $2,000.00 after everything was said and done, but oh what difference it made. I've run mine for a couple of years now and the sound still blows me away.

I also noticed you're using Creative Concepts Pigtails. I also find these to be great little devices.

Another similar tweak, you may want to try, which I couldn't live without, is Walker Audio's High Definition Links.
