Why do you think there is information lost between the LP and the phono preamp?

Using a test record and distortion analyzer, it can easily be shown that different phono preamps have varying degrees of success in retrieving what’s on an LP. And of course, no phono preamp is perfect - even the best of them add some noise and some distortion, as shown on even manufacturer’s specs.

No phono cartridge is perfect, either.

Nashville Recording Supply has it, but it’s not cheap. My Pioneer RT-701 loves Maxell and Memorex, and I’ve had very good luck buying used tape on eBay. As long as it was stored correctly, you’ll probably be ok.

Do you also feel that there is signal loss when recording from a digital source to tape?

Do you think analog tape is a perfect, distortion-free recording medium? 

Gusser,
