John, I purchased the Tascam DA3000, as well. I too find the recordings indiscernible from the original. Though, maybe my system or ears are not top notch.
I used a modified Lenco with Mirko platter and bearing (JMW 12.5 and Denon DLS1). If you would like to give a listen send a PM and you can upload the file.

Your recording sounds very nice. What piece is it? I'm obviously not well versed in classical music but I do like string ensembles.
What cartridge load are you using? It sounded a bit bright, but certainly not at all harsh. I found I had to load my DL-S1 very heavily to achieve a more natural sound quality. My Pass Labs XOno phono stage has 75-dB gain so I can load my DL-S1 with 20-ohms and still have enough output left for a reasonable volume level. Yours sounds very smooth, just a bit bright.
I also noticed the recording had a lot of headroom still available. What record-level setting did you use on the DA-3000? I have mine set to +8-dB for my DL-S1 through the XOno.
Thanks for the opportunity to hear your turntable. I'd be happy to send you my DA-3000 recording, but I don't know how. Perhaps you can send email and explain the process.
Happy Holidays,
John Elison
Hi John, I am glad you were able to hear the file. It is Mozart, 6 String Quartets Dedicated to Haydn, Quartetto Italiano, Philips. If you like rock I have some Zeppelin and Beatles.
I have my DLS1 loaded at 250 ohms. My Jasmine LP 2.0 has the output caps upgraded to Jantzen Superior Z-caps. I don't have a gain setting, just MC or MM.
I am really a novice with regard to the Tascam. I just used the default settings. From your comment about the "headroom" I assume I should have a higher gain setting. Is that correct?
I too wish others could record their TTs on a digital recorder. It would be very easy to hear the difference in decks rather than just translations of what listeners hear.
To share digital files: From your Gmail account, click the grid of black squares and select Drive. Then upload the file and share the drive, by right-clicking and Share With. Then type in the email address and follow instructions on the screen. My kids use this for high-school and college.
Merry Christmas
