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.

Tony, Regarding your polnt about the Cessaro speaker on the Lampizator thread I felt the same. Sitting further back this speaker was much better in presentation. I don't think that near field sitting is meant for the Cessaro it becomes too upfront sounding. Charles,
Tony, I except the realty it is preference/ taste when choosing among fine quality amplifiers. I understand why some would prefer an OTL, for me a high quality SET with premium output transformers just simply pulls me deeper into the music's emotion and wins the tonal realism battle. I wish you continued success with your excellent amplifiers. Charles,
Tony, For me it's splitting hairs when comparing the TAD with the Kaiser Kawero. I found both to sound exceptional with the Concert Fidelity components. For sake of argument if forced to choose one I'd give a very slight edge to the Kawero. The CF with Kawero was subtlety more organic and tactile and perhaps offered a bit more liquidity and musical flow. It could have been the different room at RMAF but the sound was very encompassing and just filled the room with a natural beautiful sound. Honestly both speakers are top echelon and without question I could be very content with either. I place very high priority towards holistic, natural and emotion in music and reproduction. I believe that the Kawero is just a touch further along this direction.
Hi Tony, Your Electra Fidelity 300b is really good, why do you drive your speakers with the Atma-Sphere amp instead of your own? Just curious. Charles,
