Could you run the pre-tape out to deck 1 in, deck 1 out to deck 2 in, deck 2 out to pre tape in?
How to run 2 tape decks off a Bryston BP25 preamp?
Hello All,
I have a Bryston BP-25 preamplifier in my home audio system and want to add a second tape deck. Since the preamp has only one tape loop, I need an external switching unit that will allow me to interface two consumer-grade audio tape decks to the BP-25 and select between them. Do any of you know of a good quality matrix switcher with RCA ins/outs that would allow me to switch the preamp tape to/from jacks between two tape decks with only one switch operation? Or, would I be able to use Y-connectors at the preamp jacks and split the tape to/from signal between the 2 tape decks without running into impedance or other problems? Would I risk damage to the preamp circuitry to try this?
Thanks,
