tape head preamplifiers

Around 2010, Reel-Reel started returning to higher end audio circles, with the advent of new external electronics for playback pre-amplification.Good advances in electronic components and in some cases new circuit design, brings a significant improvement in sonic reproduction. Some enthusiasts have found that older tube based designs sounded significantly better than what was designed into the leading edge solid-state machines of the 1980's.
A variety of new companies have emerged, producing tape head pre-amplifiers, usually on the pricey side, taking older machines to new levels of sonic perfection. If your tape recorder does not have a tape head output, a decently skilled technician can facilitate this.
