Outboard phono pre's

A Q, who has one? I know Graham has some nice ones, I have tapes made from him to prove it, what I'd like to know is can you hook one up direct to the tape deck? Ya know, bypass the preamp crap and go direct, I do that with the CD player and the tapes sound a bit clearer, better bass, just wonderin'

Yes Stu, connect straight from the phono stage out into the back of your deck. This makes the best recordings as there is nothing but a pair of interconnects in the signal path. You can still monitor the recording using the source/tape switch.
