Thanks Steve,

I added a signature so you could see my set up. I use a Urishi that has .4mv output and it works well with the Cat, but is at the very limit of proper matching. If I change cartridges, I will try to find something with .5 or more.

If I buy the Seduction, I will build it myself as I enjoy kit building. I loved to go to the Heathkit store when I was a kid. By the time I was old enough to buy and build kits for myself, Heathkit was no longer. Bummer. 

I also am trying to figure out how to tap into the Otari with a switch so I can put it back to stock. I use it to mix down from my Tascam TSR 8 track. I also want to use it for some location recording. So I don't want it to be just a play back deck. It should be simple enough, but I would like to find someone who has done this before committing my mint Otari to surgery.

Just got my first tape yesterday. TP 001, Sweet!!!

Hi,
 First post, so if this is stupid, go easy! :-)

I had a tech once make me a small network with rca jacks on it that plugged directly into my Cat's  ( preamp ) phono section. This little network was a reverse RIAA circuit and a load resistor to pad down the input so I could hook up my phono stage to a break in cd playing on repeat in my cd player. So When I replace phono tubes, I hook up this network and run a break in cd over night. Much easier than playing vinyl for hours.

Anyway, it got me thinking that maybe a little network could be made that reverses the RIAA and adds the IEC eq and maybe pads down the input some to match my phono stage on my Cat Ultimate preamp. Just wondering if anyone tried this. I will probably build a Seduction to match up with my Otari MX 5050 B III, but this might be interesting....

Thanks,

Ken
