I found that the sound was a little bit "sharper". The comparison was performed with several cartridges and particularly those that I own: Transfiguration Proteus D, MSL Signature Platinum and Phasemation PP-2000.
I got the TP-1000 tape deck mounted on a 19' rack. I purchased a set of Hemingway Audio Z-core Alpha power and XLR interconnect cables as well. I will do some comparisons with my two other tape decks in the coming days.
Yes. I needed a good set of cables for my new tape deck.
I already acquired two pairs of Hemingway Audio Z-core Beta loudspeakers cable as well when I purchased the Steinheim Reference Ultime Two. I also got a Z-core Alpha power cable for the Studer tape deck. I had the chance to listen to a full loom of Z-core Alpha on my secondary system (power, loudspeakers and interconnect) and they were quite convincing as being on par or even better than my current cables.
I got the cables on loan and compared them against two other sets from Hemingway Audio: Indigo and Pro but the Z-core Alpha were better though more expensive as well.
