    • 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
    3 post suspension rack with acrylic shelves. In this configuration the suspension has been disabled to conserve space. The rack has also been shortened 2 feet. Additional shelving and isolation has been added as well.

I've read your posts for years. I note that you haven't posted anything on your "virtual system" for awhile. (I too need to update my system(s)). It's on my list.

I've seen that you're a Lightspeed passive preamp fan.

I've just discovered the wonders of the Burr-Brown PCM1704 (HiFiMan 801 as the DAC!) and just saw your post that you keep finding Burr-Brown chips to be naturally apealing. Me too.

I too have accepted that Duke has great insights, creativity, ears and engineering and I have his Audiokinesis Rhythm Prisms.

So what DACs and DAC chips are you using now.

Best,
Tom
