I find the best recordings come from plugging the source in directly to the R2R
Missing out numerous mechanical connections and unnecessary circuitry
As long as the source has a high enough line level a DAC or CD is ideal a phono stage or Tuner a bit lower but I can usually gaet a high enough level using the pots rather that the As CAL level +4dB
I did also calibrate one of my BR20s specifically for my Phono stage

I was told by Stewart ( Lodgesound ) that you need a Alice Matchpack PRO Interface , I have one but no top end R2R

Ah... Stewart, he was a lovely chap.

Yes I use an Alice Matchpak Pro... it's a must IMO.

Stew is always present in my household, as he entrusted me as the guardian of two of his tape machines.He was always very finicky and precise. Everything has to be just right. When I leave his machines after playing them, I have to line up the logos on the reels, so that they look nice and neat. That's how he was.

He taught me everything I know about tape set up. At this very moment, I am duplicating a Dutch CBS studio master dub of George Michael's Faith at 15 IPS onto new SM900 with Dolby SR. It's taken a little while to line up my second Dolby 363 unit (the other one is downstairs), for me to record from a Sony APR 5002 reproducer onto a second APR 5003 recorder.

APR 5002 - Needed to check the replay azimuth on the studio dub, and then it was about setting the repro levels on the reproducer to be flat using the tones on the studio dub.

APR 5003 - Then setting up the record line up on a new batch of tape. Then record new line up tones at the head, Dolby SR noise, and finally the album, one side per pancake.

Lovely R2R Josie, suspect I am going to end up scratching the itch at some point.

Charlie, I bet the George Michael sounds ace.

Sounds like a neat solution to connecting unbalanced equipment at -10dB, I will look into finding one of them cheer Al

I was buying a B62 from Stewart but he unfortunately passed away before I could pay him.

Although he had been ill for some time it came as a real shock to me.

I was looking through his pm's the other day... Really sad.

I'm so glad he passed some of his knowledge on to you and maybe others here.

Sent you a pm, Charlie BTW...
