The Tascam BR20 is an awesome transport but the heads are not top notch. If you want to use them you have to use step up transformers. This is because they require a much lower load (100 ohm in the stock circuit) and have much lower gain. This is a good solution and sounds much better than stock. But if you want it to do it the right way you can order an extended response head from Greg Orton. I have not heard those heads in that transport but in others and are very good. I have one coming my way.
In terms of electronics I have heard very extensively all the range of Bottlehead electronics (eros, seduction and repro) and the king cello. To me there's no comparison, BH sounds much more natural and musical and I see no negatives in the comparison.
Hipe this helps.
