Tascam DA-3000

HI to everyone.
I have 1500 albums that I would like to transfer on to MD
Recorder but I was adviced by one of fellow Audiogoner that the best option would be Tascam DA-3000.
I searched a little bit and it sounds like a good idea but there is a problem. Every 2GB of data the files would be cut
so I would need the software to fix that. Maybe I didn't
understand what he was trying to explain since I never used
that kind of recorders.
I would appreciate opinions.

Al or anyone else are you going to CES this year? I am and would like to meet some of you.

Jeff, thanks, but no, I don't have plans to go to CES or any of the other major shows (e.g., RMAF) in the foreseeable future. In part because I'm on the east coast.

Best regards,

Al:

You do have a point, assuming that potential RF entering the Benchmark is somehow filtered differently so that it never gets into the digital bit stream.

I did notice my 60 Hz hum levels were lower when using the Benchmark. Same gain setting on the Spectral, same interconnects. I attribute this to a better common mode rejection in the Benchmark balanced input amplifiers, which may have an impact on your point above.

Let us know what you find out, particularly if you spring for an Ayre.

dhl93449 - I use the Tascam DA-3000, and am quite pleased with my recordings from vinyl (if I do them in double DSD). I see your point, modifying the A-D part of the conversion. What happened, in your case?
