@fuzztone I didn't consider having to disconnect r2r output as well during recording. If the phonostage is connected directly to the r2r and i'm monitoring with headphones while still outputting to my integrated i figured i would hear nothing when the output selector on Teac is set to 'Source' (phonostage) and the off-the-tape output when set to 'Tape'. This scenario would introduce feedback?
Not that it would be useful to hear through speakers since i can only monitor the source through headphones but its an extra set of cables to unplug.
Most likely will use this as a temp setup until i can figure out a replacement for the preamp.
@vinylzone thats what i had considered as an option although it would only allow me to monitor the tape on my speakers since the phonostage is connected direct to r2r. but using the headphone out on r2r would allow me to monitor both source & tape during recording
@russ69 the tape loop also provides an unattenuated line level signal from the preamp to accomplish that. seems the only option with what i have is phonostage direct to R2R and then monitor source/tape from headphones plugged into the R2R.
