Mannheim Steamroller - Fresh Aire 1 & 2 - Transferring to Sony Metal XR60 Dolby C. This is the final master I have done from the vinyl to high res 96khz/24-bit digital. The perfect amount of click/pop filtering has been found so finally laying down the finished product to tape. Being so many quiet passages on these Mannheim albums, vinyl filtering and dolby c is a must for a perfect recording. Am very pleased with the results, and yes I have done this before but with my old OM10 cartridge, those recordings sound fine but I have not gone to as much trouble perfecting them as these new ones.
Cassette deck on top of pre amp you say?? Don't worry, its fan cooled, cool air is taken in from the back by a 12cm 2000rpm computer fan and pushed out the front, both units run very cool to the touch.
