I never tried dat or cd recorder if that's what you mean. And if you meant how the recording made on my Nak compares to the cd player that I use (CEC belt drive player), then I can tell you that except for extra background noise it is usually a little better if using best reference tapes especially Maxell Metal Vertex which is so expensive but absolutely the best, at least with my deck. And of course I take the signal directly from phono stage and cd player; no tape-out loop, thank you. The deck does some good equalization in the process of recording, Also I can make the recording sound louder than the original so less volume on the amp and less distortion.
DiMarzio cables
Just wanted to share my experience of using DiMarzio M-Path RCA interconnects, 1.0M pair.
In another thread when OP asked about what to use for amplification of "heavy music", I suggested he ask Yngwie Malmsteen and use whatever he does. So a few weeks ago I thought why not follow my own advice and not try the cables he uses with his guitars. And that's DiMarzio. You know what, I was really impressed by them. In my very good mid-fi system with the Spacedeck table being the only component above mid-fi, they were almost as good as Purist Audio Maximus for less than 20% the price. Purist had a little richer midrange with a little deeper soundstage but the rest was at least equal. I would say that DiMarzio was a bit more articulate with somewhat better highs. Excellent cable. And for $150 pair new? Great value. I still prefer Purist overall but by very little and not with any recording.
Anyone else has impressions?
