If you want really high end, the Decware ZP3 phono stage is designed to also be used with tape decks. The signal is then taken directly off the heads, bypassing the deck, and that may well be a lot higher quality, depending on the deck of course.
Reel to Reel Woes
My 35+ year old Tascam 4 track finally gave up the ghost. I told myself when that finally happened I'd upgrade to a Revox B77. I have 60+ reels of tape that contain music that can't be replaced. I am finding basically 2 choices in the Revox market. Either buy a "works great" but sold "as is" deck for $1,200 - $1,750. or buy a completely refurbished/rebuilt deck for $5,000. My system is a fairly high end one (Audio Research, Wilson) so, I'll need something of high sound quality, Any Ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks guys!!
