stereo5 I passed on the C2600 because it did not have a tape loop ... Tape loops seem to have mostly fallen out of fashion along with the tape decks that made them useful. Let’s face it - there’s not much reason today to need a real tape mon... 
How can I find out more about Zu Audio Omen Def Supreme
Maybe make an appointment with a dealer???  
Time to upgrade the pre-amp.
saulh I see the Ref 6SE as having 6DB gain from its single-ended outputs vs 75db for the SP-11. Apples/oranges. The SP-11 gain figure includes its phono stage.

Connect the 2600’s "fixed output" to the tape deck’s line in. The deck’s line out can go to any of the preamp’s line inputs. (’m pretty sure the 2600 doesn’t have an actual tape monitor.)

Are Expensive Balanced Interconnects Necessary?
overthemoon ... the equipment must have differentially balanced circuitry to have significant benefit from balanced cable ... There is 6 db more level ... That depends on the particular differential circuit. For example, the AES48-compliant ...

  djones51 Going forward simply stream the digital. Band limiting the digital to fit on vinyl in order to charge more is ridiculous. You have it backwards. LP has a much wider bandwidth than CD.  
Are Expensive Balanced Interconnects Necessary?
tweak1 Differentially Balanced kit means 2 totally independent channels (not touching each other), including 2 separate power supplies (one for each channel/L/R), but often a single PS is substituted ... That's not at all how a differentiall...

Large amp fan for Classe CAV150
