Otari ARS-1000, canidate for
« on: April 03, 2009, 05:28:08 AM »
Hello,
New to R2R and need a little guidance.  I've been looking at the Otari MX-5050 series but I don't need most of the functions, specifically the recording.  I would like to find a great playback only unit.  Otari offered the ARS-1000 just for this and I'm wondering if it would be a good candidate?  Also, Doc or anyone else, would you be able to do the head mod on this unit for use with your preamp?  I'm assuming it wouldn't be too different from the other units they offered.

Any other recommendations? 

Thanks,

Aaron

It looks to me like the the ARS1000 already has a preamp out looking at these balanced connectors on a pigtail and the lack of meters and knobs. Also I notice the upgraded rubber rollers and tension arms.
